With extensive event facilities, we are able to accommodate small or large weddings and provide an idyllic setting. You can rely on being treated with care and receiving the attention to detail expected on your special day.
• Food prepared with passion • Mature gardens and woodland • Elegantly-styled reception suites • Sweeping staircase and spectacular crystal chandelier • Ambience of a Victorian manor • En-suite bedrooms with spa baths • Spacious bridal suite with a 4 poster bed and twin bath •
Something that little bit different - Bridal Pamper Room & On-Site Gin Distillery where you would be able to make your own gin which you may give your guests as your unique wedding favor!
It's a fact that it rains for at least 150 days, almost half a year....don't worry we are the perfect venue for all seasons - rain or shine!

Amazing from start to finish
We absolutely loved our wedding day and the whole experience with The Whitehall. From our 1st meeting we were made to feel very welcome and special and this was the same throughout our planning visits and of course on the day itself.
Everyone commented on how lovely the food, gin and venue was. They really couldn't have done any more for us and are so grateful thand we would definitely recommend 😁

Wedding postponed - 4 times!
Just wanted to say thankyou again so much for hosting our special day earlier this month! Every single one of you were amazing, special mentions have to go to Neil, Dave and Peter who have helped us rearrange 4 times, without any troubles, they answered calls and emails at all times of the day and nothing was ever too much trouble. Dave and Peter were both amazing on our day, and it genuinely was the best day ever! We're so glad we picked here to have our wedding. It was perfect, and we loved every single minute of it. Lots of love, the new Mr & Mrs Hunt xx

Magical Wedding
Yesterday our daughters wedding was held at this hotel. Firstly I would like to say my husband and I have stayed here before when visiting our daughter so were confident that the services would be perfect. The wedding day from start to finish was the most magical experience, Dave , Anita and their fantastic team looked after us (bridal party) from arrival on Saturday, for the wedding on Sunday until we departed today (Monday) at lunchtime. Food was delicious, plentiful, hot and served properly. Rooms were comfortable and housekeeping excellent. So thanks again Dave, Anita and your fabulous team.
See you soon.
