We can not thank the team at the Woodman enough they really went above and beyond to make our day so special. From booking they made everything so easy, we dealt mainly with Nadia and Jordan, they were both so enthusiastic and made the experience easy. The wedding day went seamless and was truly the best day of our lives. The venue is a perfect combination of country pub but very modern and quirky, the marquee is a perfect space to make your own and it is so private tucked away in its little corner next to the stream. The vibes were good all day the bar staff also really friendly. We decided to save on a cake and bought one from M&S and Nadia was even happy to decorate this for us and I must say she did a fantastic job, it looked just as good as a professional cake we were so a

My husband and I (and the dog) cannot thank the management and event staff of The Woodman Inn enough for helping us create a wedding day that was everything we had wished for and more. From our first meeting we felt like our vision of the day was possible and they helped with every stage of the planning. Everything was fully explained and laid out with no hidden extra costs. They were incredibly flexible and accommodated any changes along the way, even when last minute. Both Jordan and Nadia were welcoming and friendly at every meeting and we felt like every last detail was taken care of. Nothing we asked for or suggested ever felt too much (even burying a sausage the night before!) and from start to finish was well planned, organised and completely stress free, leaving us to fully enjoy the best day of our lives. The venue is truly beautiful and the grounds were the perfect backdrop for our outdoor ceremony thanks to the good weather. We had our wedding breakfast and reception in the garden room with drinks served in the gorgeous orangery. It really is the perfect space, even with our intimate number of guests it felt vibrant and full. Most of our guests occupied the hotel with great reviews from everyone and the bridal party used the getting ready room with breakfast and prosecco provided for a fun and stress free build up. The food served during the day including canapes, wedding breakfast and reception was out of this world, and carefully catered for those with special

We honestly couldn’t recommend The Woodman Inn enough. From our spontaneous first visit, my many emails, planning meetings, 6am texts on our wedding morning, right the way through our perfect day Nadia, Jordan and the team couldn’t do enough for us. The venue and surroundings are simply stunning, the food was amazing, we are so glad we decided on a bbq on what felt like the hottest day of the year. The whole team throughout the day were fantastic. Everything ran smoothly and nothing was ever too much trouble for any of the staff. Nadia made me feel at ease and made our wedding morni

The Woodman Inn is the perfect wedding venue. From the moment we went to view, we knew it was right for us. From the friendly and professional service, to the flexibility of the team (we had a vegetarian menu specially created and they’re dog friendly) to the gorgeous grounds for a personal and private outdoor ceremony. Nadia, Jordan and the team are incredible and went above and beyond to make us feel so special, and never judged us for any little question. To have them there on our day was the icing on the cake. I couldn’t recommend them enough! We can’t wait

We had our wedding at The Woodman Inn and it was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. From the moment we first visited, we felt completely at ease, and on the day itself everything exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Nadia was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. She was super attentive, always quick to respond, and made sure every detail was thought through so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. On the wedding day itself she was calm, organised, and constantly one step ahead, which made such a difference and allowed us to just enjoy every moment. The entire team were just perfect — friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. Every member of staff made us and our guests feel so welcome, and the service throughout the day was seamless. The venue itself is breathtaking. The character of the inn combined with the surrounding woodland creates such a unique and magical atmosphere. It felt intimate, romantic, and completely special, especially with the natural beauty of the setting around us. So many of our guests commented on how stunning it was. Overall, we honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was everything we dreamed of

We honestly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue than The Woodman Inn for our wedding. From start to finish, the entire experience was incredible, and it truly gave us the most special day of our lives. A huge part of that was down to Nadia, our wedding coordinator, who is quite simply amazing. From the very beginning, she explained the entire process so clearly and made everything feel manageable and stress-free. No question was ever too small—she was always on hand to help, reassure us, and calm any nerves we had along the way. On the day itself, she was absolutely everywhere, quietly making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were taken care of. You could genuinely see how much she cared about us having the best possible day, and that meant the world to us. The venue itself is just stunning. We had our wedding in the Garden Room, which was both spacious and beautifully presented—so many of our guests commented on how gorgeous it was. It created the perfect atmosphere for both the ceremony and the celebration. The evening reception was equally fantastic and flowed so seamlessly from the day. The food deserves a special mention because it was exceptional. So many of our guests have said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, which says it all. It really elevated the whole experience and was something people are still talking about. Another huge bonus is the accommodation. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous, and being able to reserve them for our guests the night before and the night of the wedding made everything so convenient and relaxed. It really helped turn the whole occasion into a full experience rather than just a single day. We also have to mention Jordan, who was just incredible. He was so friendly, warm, and genuinely caring, and he made us feel completely looked after—especially the morning after the wedding when he went above and beyond to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed. Overall, we cannot recommend The Woodman Inn highly enough. The team went above and beyond in every possible way, and we

We had our wedding at The Woodman Inn, and it was nothing short of perfect. From start to finish, the whole day ran seamlessly, and we couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful setting. The weather was amazing, which made the charming surroundings feel even more magical. The food was absolutely outstanding — our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! Every course was beautifully presented and full of flavour, adding something truly special to the day. That sticky toffee pudding was just perfection!! The team at The Woodman Inn were exceptional, a special mention to Nadia, nothing was too much effort for her. They were all attentive, organised, and genuinely kind, they made sure everything flowed effortlessly so we could simply relax and enjoy every moment. The team were especially kind and generous to our dog, giving him treats and making sure he was well looked after. The dog friendly rooms meant he was able to stay with us as well as our guests being able to bring their dogs also which meant they were able to stay for the whole wedding. We’re so grateful to The Woodman Inn for giving us the most wonderful wedding day. It was ever

Beautiful country setting. We wanted an intimate evening wedding with close family and friends and we didn’t want anything formal. The team at the woodman enabled us to plan our day, the way we wanted it. We chose to have street style food ( mini fish and chips and pork slider). Portions were generous, food delicious and hot. Well stocked bar. In house DJ Richard was great and played all the things we wanted. We were able to dress the room ourselves just

We viewed many different wedding venues in and around the area, Nadia & the team made us feel very welcome & relaxed when we decided on The Woodman Inn. They were professional, friendly and understood all the stress & hard work that goes into planning a wedding. Every question we had was answered & resolved straight away. We honestly could not recommend them enough. They catered to every little detail & went above & beyond for us.

Myself and Tom cannot put into words just how grateful we are to the Woodman team for hosting our wedding! From starting the wedding planning process, both Nadia and Jordan were there to answer any questions we had and support with anything we needed. They helped and guided us with decisions and we came away from every meeting feeling more at ease as every request was put into place! A huge shout out to Nadia who was so amazing on the day, checking in on both myself and Tom, making the day run so smoothly, coordinating everyone and setting up the most beautiful ceremony and wedding breakfast rooms! She prepared everything with so much care and she is just so incredible in her role. To the Woodman team, the service throughout the day was amazing, the food wa

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding than The Woodman Inn. It is the most beautiful venue, in an incredibly beautiful setting. From the moment we saw it, we knew we had to get married there. The entire team at The Woodman Inn went above and beyond to make sure our day was seamless. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about every little detail. Nothing ever felt too much trouble, and their calm, friendly presence made the whole process stress-free. Nadia & Jordan in particular were fantastic, on both the day and during the entire planning process. They were incredibly warm & always there to answer any question I had and truly listened to everything that we wanted. On the day itself, everything flowed effortlessly – the food was outstanding, which was commented on my all our guests! The service was impeccable, and the space transformed into something even more stunning than we’d envisioned. It felt personal, intimate, and truly unforget

We cannot express enough how thankful we are to the entire team at The Woodman Inn for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place for us – not just because of how stunning the space is, but because of the warmth, professionalism, and genuine care shown by everyone involved. The venue itself is breathtaking – every corner was picture-perfect, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful and unique it was. But more than that, it was the way the team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly that truly made the difference. No detail was overlooked, and their calm, friendly presence gave us so much peace of mind on the day. Thank you for helping bring our dream wedding to life. We will forever cherish the memories made at The Woo

Right from the moment we booked the venue with Jordan at the Wedding Fair, all of the staff were so friendly, supportive and helpful. The Woodman Inn was always our number one venue because of the staff and the outdoor garden. Leading up to the day itself, the emails and the contact were not over powering, but always at the end of the email or phone if we needed support and if we had questions, which were answered in such a quick time. In the lead up to the day, we had a couple of meetings which were relaxed and put us at ease, as we were stressed! The professionalism from everyone was incredible. Nadia, who was doing our wedding on the day, was so helpful and supportive and put both us at ease at the meetings and even on the day itself. It honestly felt like we had known her for so long. She ran the whole day so smoothly. On the day itself, we could not have asked for anything else. Nadia and Toby ran the whole wedding so smoothly, from originally being set up outside, only for it to rain and moved everything from inside, which was already set up. This was done with such efficiency and our guests even commented on how quickly it was done. The food was outstanding. All of the guests commented on the food, from the canapés, main meal and the evening food. The food went down a treat. There was so much choice from the menus and the food tasting event was perfect to make sure we got the right food. The whole day was perfect and that is down to the staff at The Woodman, as they were so professional and helpful. The venue was perfect, with it being so clean with amazing setting. Everything about the day was incredible. I would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding. I just didn’t want the day to finish! Massive thank you to Jordan, Nadia, Toby and the rest of the team working on our wedding day.
