What a fabulous wedding venue, the rooms are beautiful and the teepee are something else. The grounds are also fabulous. My daughters wedding isn't until March 2023 so I'll have yo wait to find out how the food tastes.

Nice and friendly but do not take a coach up the entrance road as no where for it to park or turn around

Superb setting and service for our daughters wedding.
Relaxed atmosphere, nothing rushed, staff not over attentive but kept balance just right by being non intrusive.
Individuality of the rooms makes the place unique. Food was outstanding

Wow. Where do I begin?! What an incredible weekend and wedding we had at the most beautiful wedding venue ever. Every single aspect of the weekend was perfect and more than we could have ever imagined. We definitely have wedding blues and want to do it all over again! It was a non-stop party with the people who mean the most to us. This is the best thing about Woodhill. It is totally exclusive for the whole weekend, nothing is rushed and everything has a personal touch. All of your staff went above and beyond all weekend but in particular, Luke! He is an absolute credit to Woodhill
