10th March 2026
Pros:

We had our whole wedding day at Judds Folly hotel, Carlie was absolutely amazing! She was with us right through the whole process and on the day of the wedding which was held in Yew Tree Cottage. So much detail went into our day and both Yew Tree cottage and the Banquet Hall were decorated beautifully! We chose the most amazing venue💙

September wedding
Pros:

Me and my husband got married at judds foley in September 2025. From start to finish the had the most amazing experience. Our wedding planner Carlie was amazing! From start to finish she made us feel completely at ease and we knew she had everything under control. From initial planning, to finalising decor and meals to the wedding day itself she was there every step of the way offering expert advice and support.
She was very responsive to all communication. The wedding itself was amazing , ever commented on how smoothly the day went. Carly ran the day perfectly and kept everything moving so nothing ever felt rushed or to drawn out. We had the most perfect day with our friend and family ♥️♥️♥️

Breakfast was good but bed not comfortable
Pros:

Location and plenty of private car parking

Cons:

The mattress was worn out and the pillows rock hard. When we walked into the room the bottom end of the mattress was up in the air off the bed base and you could see big dents in the mattress

Pros:

Location good. Bed comfortable

Cons:

Did not get the superior room paid for, was given an apparent upgrade which was dirty, bad state of repair and generally unacceptable. Was then offered a standard double room, which at least was cleaner. Would have liked to speak to the manager, but unfortunately she didn't take the time to speak to us.

lovely gem of a hotel - definitely recommended
Pros:

Large, well decorated room and bathroom which was subtly disability friendly along with an enormous and extremely comfortable bed. The radiator was effective and warmed the room nicely. Super reception staff made us feel at home.
Really pleased that our door led straight out onto the grounds and we were in a quiet corner which enabled me to take the dog out for a 4am wee without disturbing anyone. The grounds are lovely with snowdrops and daffodils in abundance.

Cons:

took payment for dog twice!
