Cotswolds Hotel & Spa

From the moment we came across the hotel on our search for a wedding venue, we fell in love. Initially, we weren’t sure if we would go ahead with the venue as we really wanted our dog to be a part of our big day and unfortunately the venue was unable to accommodate this (although they did offer a couple of solutions which was hugely appreciated), but as it ticked every other box we decided to go ahead. The venue is gorgeous and the staff are amazing, from our first viewing right through to leaving the day after our wedding nothing has been too much and they have gone above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and we had a stress free experience. I wish we could do it all over again - 10/10 would recommended

I was blown away by how much the staff and venue went above and beyond for us, and how much they seemlessly made it all work and all come together on the day. Our pa kage included a bridal suite the night of the wedding - but I'd also booked a room for the night before so I could get ready at the venue, so the staff upgraded my bridal suite to the apartment room I'd booked so I could keep the same room. We have 2 children with nut allergies who were perfectly catered for. On The morning of the wedding I went to prepare the chairs, table centre pieces, candy buffet, archway etc and a member of staff helped with all of this-showed us the best way to do the chair sashes, etc. We were serving the cupcakes from our wedding cake as dessert and (despite our package saying our guests were to self serve) the staff kindly served this to all our guests. The food was AMAZING. I'm vegetarian with a mushroom /fungus intolerance and requested a vegetable pie for my main course - it was truly the best pie I've ever had. The starter of soup was gorgeous. Everyone raved about how good the hog roast main course was - and the evening buffet of sausage/bacon/halloumi baps was really impressive as the baps were hot, well filled and full of flavour. The DJ provided by the venue was brilliant and played all the songs I'd requested and took requests all night. Changing the ceremony room to the dining room took minutes and happened whilst we were off having photos taken so it was lovely to return to the room already changed. Lots of children were attending our wedding and we were a little concerned they'd all be running around the area of golf green by the decking and be told off by staff - but they weren't - so they played out there all night. At the very end of the night we started packing bits up whilst waiting for our last guests to leave and again the staff started helping us. The following morning when we went back to the hall to finish backing up our belongings - most of it had been done for us so we had very little to do.

“We just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you did for us leading up to our big day. Nothing was too much to ask and without you it wouldn’t have been as perfect as it was. Thank you to you and your team. Everything ran so smoothly the venue looked incredible and we couldn’t have wished for more. You were so calm and organised on the day which helped the rest of us feel relaxed. Everyone commented on how smoothly things ran and that is a credit to you all. Sad it’s all over but we will have to come back and visit to reminisce.” – Bethany & Tony

"We booked our wedding in February 2020 and it was the best decision we made! Our wedding was in May 2022 and communication with Lauren during this time was brilliant. When our day finally arrived, everything went smoothly thanks to Lauren and the amazing wedding team. Nothing was too much effort and they were able to meet all of our requests. All of our guests commented on how amazing the venue, food and accommodation was! We couldn't have asked for a better day at Cotswolds Hotel and Spa for our wedding day"

“We are just back from our honeymoon and wanted to reach out and say a massive THANK YOU for helping our wonderful day run so smoothly! It was the best day of our lives, and we had so many people comment on how seamlessly everything went, a few people said “who was the lady in the fluffy cardigan and black dress? She had everything so under control!”- so we really can’t thank you enough! Thank you again, we’ve been on a rollercoaster journey with the wedding (being Covid postponed), the venue is absolutely stunning (even more so than we originally booked!) and the food was UNREAL. Considering we never found the time to book a tasting session in (just too busy!) we weren’t sure what to expect, but again we had so many compliments on how incredible the food was, including some people saying it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. The venue was stunning, the golf buggies were a lot of fun and everyone had a wonderful day, so thank you..” – ALEX & GEORGE

Hi Frankie, We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for everything you did during the run up to our wedding as well as on the day itself. As a wedding planner, my only worry was not being able to switch off and enjoy the day like a 'normal' bride. You took this worry away from me so easily, I was just able to enjoy my day and not even think about anything else. I will honestly be forever grateful for this, I cannot even put it into words. It was such a pleasure to meet someone with as much passion for weddings as myself. Your venue is truly beautiful. From the moment we both walked through the door, we knew this was where we were going to get married. Even though it was 2yrs away! Everything was finished with the highest standard, you can really tell that you and your team know what you are doing when it comes to weddings. We felt safe in your hands. You worked with our suppliers and helped create a truly magical day. Your attention to detail was perfect and wonderfully in-line with my own OCD levels..! The food was delicious. We can't believe there was even a time when we weren't going to have canapés. Serving them at the menu tasting was pure genius (I may have to steal that one) - these were scrumptious! There is a very funny picture of me running off with a tray because I just didn't want to share! I did, with my husband, of course, ha! The wedding breakfast was absolutely lovely. We had lots of comments specifically about the beef and ale pie - lots of love for that pie in the room! I especially loved my gravy jug just for me. I really wanted to drink the entire jug... The hog roast in the evening was also delicious - please pass on our thanks to chef and his/her team for all the food we had the privilege of eating on our wedding day. (And for accommodating some very peculiar requests, ha!) It was all truly spectacular and every single person in the room enjoyed it! All in all, you were a pleasure to work with and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are amazing at what you do and I cannot recommend you enough. Anybody getting married with you needn't worry about a single thing - you got this! Lots of love, Mr and Mrs Hill x
