Lovely wedding venue... Staff friendly and helpful the only negative is we seemed to be rushed at breakfast the next morning... I understand that they have to prepare for the next event but, please give people more time to chat and eat... Perhaps start breakfast at 8:30 instead of 9 that gives people a chance to eat and chat and still be out of the bedroom by 10:30

We held our wedding here on 28th October 21 and we had an amazing time. Our coordinator was Amy and nothing was too much trouble from start to finish. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Everyone commented on how lovely the food was and what a beautiful venue. It is a gorgeous hall with magnificent countryside views. Thank you to Sarah and all who work at Shottle in making our day so memorable.

Part of a bridal party, we were waited on hand and foot, nothing was too much trouble. The staff were excellent, professional. The food was exceptional, starters main and puds, evening buffet and breakfast the next morning. The venue just beautiful..... set in picturesque country side, beautiful gardens
We stayed overnight, the room was delightful. Missing a TV, but not really needed. Highly recommended.

We got married at Shottle Hall finally on the 11th of August 2021 and it was the day we'd always dreamed of. The venue itself is incredibly beautiful and then you have the unbelievable staff who have bent over backwards for us, to make sure our wedding day was everything we wanted. Due to covid we unfortunately had to postpone 4 times but Shottle Hall were amazing and so so understanding, we can't thank them enough for their time, patience and expertise. They are the best in the industry!!! I would recommend Shottle Hall to any couple wanting their perfect wedding day, they have got it all just
