It has been lovingly restored to preserve its rich history and the iconic surroundings offer a scenic backdrop with views stretching across to Windsor Castle. Ceremonies and receptions take place in the luxurious Windsor Suite, the oldest and largest ballroom in town. It’s furnished with original chandeliers that have been restored suspended from the ornate detail on the vaulted ceiling and silk curtains added for a touch of modern styling. The Sandringham Suite, with its magnificent feature fireplace, is ideal for more intimate ceremonies and receptions. We love... The three tailor-made wedding packages perfect for smaller celebrations with prices starting from £80 per adult guest. This four-star manor house is in the style of a French château, complete with turrets, nestled in secluded grounds and woodland. The traditional interior showcases a sweeping oak staircase, open fireplace and award-winning restaurant. There’s a roof-top terrace (perfect for reception drinks) and a state-of- the-art thermal spa with six spa treatment rooms, an outdoor hydrotherapy pool, rock and infra-red saunas and an 18-metre swimming pool. The property is a short drive from Heathrow Airport for those leaving for their honeymoon after the wedding. The venue is home to a range of stylish function rooms and the option to be married outside in the secluded landscaped gardens with the ceremony, wedding breakfast and reception catered for under one roof. Micro weddings can enjoy the Library Bar for an intimate ceremony of up to 21 guests while the Eton suite can hold up to 175 loved ones when restrictions lift. Receptions take place in a variety of places including in the Windsor suite and the Ascot Suite.
