The Bull Hotel, Peterborough 01733 561 364 | peelhotels.co.uk If you’re looking for great service, comfort and hospitality check out The Bull Hotel. The venue prides itself on all three and is the only AA-recognised, four-star hotel in Peterborough city centre. Dating back to the 17 th century, the Grade II listed building has been sympathetically restored and upgraded, retaining its wealth of charm and character. Lavishly furnished, the Broadway Suite provides a grand setting for your ‘I dos’. Complete with chandeliers, traditional paintings, soft lighting and a stage area, you can exchange vows and celebrate afterwards with 130 guests for the wedding breakfast and 200 for the evening reception. There’s also a separate bar area for you to enjoy throughout the day. The ground-floor Lincoln Suite is also licensed for ceremonies for up to 65 guests and offers a romantic space with mirrored panels and beautiful lighting. Although there’s no gardens or outside space on site, the local parks and cathedral grounds are nearby for those all-important photos. We love... that couples are invited to a complimentary pre-wedding food tasting. Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa 01394 383 555 | uffordpark.co.uk Built in 1992, Ufford Park has been transformed over the past 27 years. Although the original building has grown beyond recognition, the surrounding parkland has been carefully preserved to maintain its natural beauty. Nestled among trees and landscaped gardens, it’s a picture-perfect, big-day backdrop. Located two miles north of the historic market town of Woodbridge, the hotel is set in 120 acres surrounded by the beautiful Suffolk countryside. The lush landscape provides breathtaking views and a wealth of great photo opportunities. The hotel has recently undergone major refurbishment too, giving it a fresh modern feel. Great for weddings large or small, there’s a choice of three different ceremony spaces. The Deben Suite is the biggest, with high ceilings, a private bar and two balconies overlooking the golf course. You can tie the knot here and celebrate afterwards with a reception for up to 250 loved ones. For those planning a more intimate celebration, the Waveney Room is ideal. It has its own private bar and dancefloor and can accommodate 55 ceremony guests and up to 100 for the evening do. And if it’s a relaxed and cosy feel you’re after, the hotel offers that too. The Huntly Restaurant has intricately carved wood panelling and a lovely warm atmosphere; ideal for an intimate reception. We love.. . that you can use the hotel’s leisure facilities plus there’s discounted rates for golf, spa and guest accommodation too. ashleypickering.co.uk jamiemckerrowmaxwell.com 26
