About Coltsfoot Country Retreat

Coltsfoot Country Retreat is a stunning, exclusive-use venue nestled in the heart of the Hertfordshire countryside in Datchworth, England. Celebrate your milestone surrounded by acres of lush rolling hills and verdant trees. This unique setting has welcomed couples since 2000 after being converted from a working livery. Its stables have been thoughtfully redesigned to offer couples and their guests a luxurious experience. Facilities and Capacity At the heart of Coltsfoot Country Retreat's charm is its modernized barn. This breathtaking event space features a rustic timber frame, soaring ceilings, and stone flooring. Large windows flood the interiors with natural light, making it the perfect venue for afternoon and evening celebrations. There's plenty of space for elegant dining, a buffet area, and dancing the night away. If you're planning to say 'I do' as well, the adjacent ceremony room is equally rustic chic. You'll also gain access to the venue's enclosed garden and courtyard, which can accommodate a marquee. True to its name, the Coltsfoot Country Retreat boasts 13 overnight suites and additional Shepherds' Huts that are self-contained for privacy. Each room is lovingly maintained with traditional beams and vaulted ceilings, enhancing the stable feel. They're also equipped with stylish baths and showers, TVs, and WiFi. Services Offered The experienced team at Coltsfoot Country Retreat aims to provide as much support as possible to couples planning their wedding. Their in-house catering team can curate a bespoke menu for the occasion, from relaxed buffets to formal plated dinners. Upon booking, you'll also have the expertise of a wedding coordinator to assist with the details. However you choose to celebrate your love, this team will ensure it's unforgettable.

I cannot recommend Coltsfoot enough to anyone looking for a wedding venue. Emma and her team could not be faulted from start to finish. The organisation from the start was superb and as for the staff on the day itself - well they were absolutely perfect. So many of our guests have since commented just how wonderfully impressed they were with absolutely everything. A young lady on Emma's team, Alice, did an incredible job with the cheese tower we opted for instead of a cake, and the catering was amazing...every single course if ev

We honestly cannot recommend The Coltsfoot highly enough. From start to finish, Emma and the entire team went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Despite some unpredictable weather, everything was adapted so seamlessly that you would never have known the original plans had changed. The venue looked stunning, every detail was beautifully set up, and all of our personal touches were placed with such care. The food was incredible and received endless compliments from our guests, the bar team were fantastic, and the accommodation was beautiful and comfortable for everyone who stayed. Most importantly, Emma was amazing throughout the entire process - calm, organised, supportive, and always one step ahead, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We truly felt looked after from beginning to end and couldn't have aske

We got married at Coltsfoot Country Retreat in October 2023. They were absolutely fantasic. The venue looked stunning and Jenny, Ruth, and Emma went above and beyond for us. No job was too much hassle. The food was fantastic and we had loads of compliments on it from the guests. The team kept us up to date with everything from the time we first showed an interest in the venue. They were very quick at answering emails and questions. We had three agenda meetings leading up to the wedding, and we were given an extensive check list to make sure we had thought about everything, which made the whole process less stressful. On the day of the wedding, they made sure everything ran smoothly and tried to keep it as stress-free as possible for us. The r

We got married here in September 2023, and I couldn't have wished for a better place. The team were so supportive of anything we wanted. We wanted a Hindu-style ceremony and prayer, and the team just went with it! I can't say thank you enough to Coltsfoot. We had around 60 guests, and it felt like a large family gathering. Guests loved the food and the accommodations are 5 stars.
