Springkell let us do a wedding that didn't follow the typical order or timings at all, and they were completely on board with it from the start. The team told us themselves it was one of the most unique weddings they'd hosted, which meant a lot given how many they must see every year. Value for money was great for what we got, a full day at a genuinely beautiful venue with no rush to move us along. Professi

Springkell is quite simply the crème de la crème of wedding venues — but what truly sets it apart is that it’s not just a wedding day, it’s a full experience. We stayed for two nights, and it made everything feel so much more special and relaxed. Starting with the Friday, we had an ice-breaker meal with our guests, which was such a lovely way to bring everyone together before the big day. It really set the tone for the whole weekend. The setting itself is stunning, and the house has this perfect balance of elegance and warmth — it feels luxurious, but still welcoming and homely. What made it truly exceptional, though, was the staff. They were absolutely incredible. They had this amazing ability to always be there when needed, but never intrusive — everything just flowed effortlessly. It genuinely felt like they were part of the celebration rather than just working behind the scenes. One moment that really stood out was when they gave the bride a guard of honour — such a special, personal touch that meant so much and perfectly sums up the care and attention they put into everything. The whole team made us feel completely at ease from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was handled seamlessly, allowing us to just enjoy every second. The food was exceptional, the rooms were beautiful and comfortable, and having everyone together for the whole weekend made it an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for more than

Where to start? Fell in love with Springkell immediately on sight, the pictures will never do it justice, you have to experience the feel of Springkell. Owner James, a true gentleman, makes Springkell feel like your home. The staff - Fiona the wedding co-ordinator - amazing, every step of the way, a true gem! Gill - who literally creates your dream day, nothing is too much trouble and your wedding breakfast set-up will blow you away, so creative and stunningly beautiful! The chefs, wow! The food is absolutely amazing, from breakfast to wedding dining - just an experience not to be missed. The waiting staff go above and beyond, nothing is too much trouble. Our guests were all blown away with the service they received, one even stating a waitress ran out to her car to get her own phone charger for her to use as she had forgotten hers!!! I mean, that is above and beyond. I happened to mention that Robert who works the bar told me he speaks German. My partner is German and his relatives were coming to the wedding, I was told there and then they would have him working the bar at our wedding. He was working and made our German family and friends feel right at home. The rooms are luxurious, spacious and scrupulously clean! Oh, again feedback from all our guests - the mattresses are divine, so comfortable and huge beds! The character of this stately home have been meticulously cared for and preserved, it is quite breath taking on entering. So, needless to say, I would recommend Springkell for any occasion, or even a romantic night away. You will be spoiled from start to finish. I think my dad summed up Springkell and its team perfectly when he said the morning after the wedding "many venues promise a dream, Springkell delivers the dream.
