We just wanted to say a big thank you for our amazing day, all the staff were amazing and the food was heavenly. The rooms were beautiful, the decorations were spectacular and the DJ rocked. Even when the wind brought a tree down you had everything in hand, the day ran so smoothly and for us it was completely stress free. Thank you for making our day one that we will remember not only for our wedding but surprising our daughter with a cake for her 13th. We will definitely recommend your hotel to anyone that would like to hold and event for any reason. We’ve attached s

I got married here on 22nd December 2018. Myself and the wedding party stayed the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding. All of our rooms were lovely and I had a complimentary upgrade which was a nice touch, the breakfast too was delicious. All the way through the planning of our wedding we were treated incredibly well and all members of staff were friendly and approachable. I would like to take the time to specifically mention Jodie who helped me organise the day all the way through, nothing was too much trouble. Stephen, Simon and Tanya – you are all lovely people and made sure the day went so smoothly – thank you. The bar staff at night time too!! Our day was perfect and you all played a part in that. I would highly recommend having your wedding at Bestwood Lodge as the ‘All Inclusive’ aspect took so much stress out of the planning. The day was incredible and the photographs we have of the spectacular views and the hotel itself are just perfect. Will definitely be coming here as much as we can, the food is lovely. Don’t expect a super modern hotel, with its Victorian feel and beautiful grounds this hot

We both had the most amazing time at the hotel. The wedding reception was everything we wanted it to be. All the guests were very impressed with the food, the facilities, the staff. My Husband was speechless when he saw our room for the night. I knew he’d like it. The day just went so smoothly. We couldn’t have done

Firstly, thank you and your staff for all your attention - our two aims for the day were a) we would get married and b) our guests would have a good time Think we succeeded on both counts! The feedback we've had from our guests has been nothing but positive - they all had a great time, and look back with much fondness for the event. The c

Everything was absolutely perfect we couldn't have asked for the day to have gone any better, everyone had a great time and most importantly Hannah and myself did too. All timings and the whole set up of the day were perfect and exactly what we wanted. To be honest we really couldn't think of anything to suggest to improve the day the whole team on the day executed everything perfectly. We both felt we would like to give a special thanks to Tanya as she was excellent all day she made everything happen as we wanted, another mention to Ben the dj everyone had a great evening, Jodie for being so great at responding and sorting out all our final details quickly and ef
