Food and cocktails served at my wedding on 15.06.19 was inedible it was of such poor quality, I was embarrased for my guests. Staff nice enough but incompetent, lost 30 favours which they never found. Not very organised and I'm afraid not up to the job. The food is unforgivable though, cardboard pizza and cocktails that had not been sifted properly so had bits in. Really regret choosing this venue for my wedding. AVOID More...

We got married at the woodland manor this month and it couldn’t have gone better. The staff were all amazing, Ailish was at the end of the phone and email with even the smallest questions. We stayed the night before, bar staff were great while we drank the night away. Food all weekend was amazing, from breakfast to the wedding breakfast, we had roast beef and everyone was thrilled, plenty of food which you don’t always get at a wedding and really high quality on every single plate. ||Special mention also goes to Eileen, one of the breakfast staff who made me a mug of tea when I was wondering at 6.30am before she had even started her shift, definitely went above and beyond!||Rooms were all lovely, beds really comfy, spacious and clean.||It’s an old building and keeps in touch with that which I liked! ||Thank you to everyone who made our day so special!

Woodland Manor has newly refurbished their venue and it looks better for it! rooms are a very good size, decor is nice. my personal, recent experience was for a wedding on 12th October 2019. Al of the staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. All of the food was served in good time, things were cleared away in good time. Food tasted great, was good quality. Service and the events throughout the day were smooth, throughout the day an excellent job was carried out and I would definitely recommend the venue to others. More...

We recently had our wedding day at WMH (Sept 2019) and it was truly the best day ever. From the moment we met Freya just over a year ago until the week after the wedding the staff at WMH couldn't do enough for us. Freya & Aliish managed to express when we first visited their niché at WMH is making our wedding exactly how we want, their is no rule book and the more personal the better. The staff were incredibly flexible with all our requests and accommodated our allergy requirements without hesitation. We were in constant communication which made the planning of the wedding both stress-free and an exciting journey. The venue itself since renovation is absolutely stunning, and WMH gave us the autonomy to transform the venue how we visioned it without restriction. Raj the owner took it upon himself to also make the planning a rather enjoyable experience. The bridal suite was a dream, and I am so glad my wedding day was captured in such a hidden gem in Bedfordshire. WMH exclusive use made our wedding experience a bespoke and personalized affair which is exactly what we desired for our wedding day. I can not thank the staff at WMH enough, you made our friends and family feel at home during the weekend of the wedding (as all our guests traveled from afar) and made our wedding day seamless. Thank you for everything, truly a weekend to remember and I am so glad after all the venue hunting we picked our first original venue choice! You guys are awesome! More...

First visit since new owners took over. Grounds and hotels massively improved. Staff and service first class. We went for a Sunday lunch celebration. Surprised roast chicken not on the menu but delighted to be asked how I wanted my roast beef cooked. Very good menu overall. For starters I had the brie, and others had the pate which could have come with a bit more toast, and soup. All delicious. We all had the beef for the main course which was delicious. For dessert we had the apple crumble, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate brownie which were first class. I had the Eton Mess but alas could not find the meringue just a lot of thick cream with a few strawberries. Overall we really enjoyed our experience and will definetly be going back again. More...
