We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Random Hall recently and we could not recommend it enough. Jackie, Kate, Richard, David and the rest of the team were brilliant, the day went effortlessly and we had so many comments on how lovely the venue and rooms were! The food was delicious and everything just flowed. We could not have wished for better! We hope to return soon!

Our family stayed two nights, taking most of the rooms for a wedding locally. Kate & Richard could not have been more hospitable nor more helpful. Their beautiful hotel has history & charm, it is sympathetically restored & with
every comfort. It is spotless and the food is excellent whilst staff are attentive. The fabulous show of oetunias to the front made for some lovely photos on the morning of the wedding too!

What can I say, perfect! We had booked our wedding with the Random Hall before Covid-19. Through the various lockdowns Random Hall were hugely accommodating and after 3 attempts, we finally had the big day. The staff and the hotel were amazing, food lovely and the staff hugely accommodating. All in all, a perfect day! Thank you Random Hall - highly recommended!
