Our wedding day
Pros:

We got married here in June 2026 and had the best day ever. Leading up to our wedding our wedding planner Carlie was so helpful, answering all our silly questions and guiding us to have the perfect day. Our room was beautiful and spacious. We couldn't have had a more perfect day ❤️

The Perfect Venue for the Perfect Day
Pros:

We honestly cannot thank Carlie and the entire team enough for giving us the greatest day of our lives.

From the moment we started planning our wedding, Carlie was incredible. She was warm, caring, attentive and completely invested in making sure our day was everything we had dreamed of. The way she planned and executed every detail was exceptional, and on the day itself, she took every ounce of stress out of our hands and allowed us to simply be present and enjoy every moment.

The staff were absolutely wonderful throughout the entire day. Nothing was ever too much trouble, everything ran seamlessly, and we felt so looked after from start to finish. It was clear how much care and pride everyone took in making our wedding so special.

Our outdoor summer ceremony was absolutely beautiful. The setting was genuinely breathtaking, with the perfectly kept green grass, beautiful greenery surrounding the area and the open fields stretching out in the background. It created such a peaceful, romantic and unforgettable atmosphere. As the evening went on, we were even treated to the most beautiful sunset, which made an already perfect day feel even more magical.

The venue itself was stunning, and the value for what we received was exceptional. Our suite was beautiful, clean, warm and incredibly welcoming, and our guests said exactly the same about the rooms they stayed in. Everything felt comfortable, well looked after and of a really high standard. The location was also perfect and made the whole experience even better for us and our guests.

We went into our wedding hoping for the perfect day, but what Carlie and the team delivered was so much more than that. They created an incredibly warm, loving and unforgettable celebration surrounded by the people we love most. Every little detail felt personal, thoughtful and perfectly executed.

We will forever look back on our wedding day as the greatest day of our lives, and Carlie and the whole team played such a huge part in making that possible. We genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for us — we will be forever grateful.

Good location, comfortable stay
Pros:

Very convenient location for us. Clean, large, room with comfortable bed.

Cons:

Only one combined shower gel/shampoo. Disappointed that there was no hair conditioner. It's the little touches that make a good stay great.

We have been staying here regularly for over a year, majority of accommodation is not clean and very poorly maintained w
Pros:

Convenient for work meeting

Cons:

Not clean, dust pretty much everywhere and not light dust, some areas thick with dust. Headboard was broke, not been fixed, had to move room as tv not working, new room covered in cobwebs on the walls cobwebs covered in dust. Really disappointing and if I had not been so far away would have driven home.

Comfortable overnight stay
Pros:

The bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Very comfortable and very friendly staff

Cons:

The bedroom was in a separate building away from the dining room and reception, it wasn’t a problem because of light nights and good weather, wouldn’t be great if raining / winter dark nights. Meetings being conducted by the events planner in the bar area was very uncomfortable as the planner had a loud voice and there was no privacy

Wedding
Pros:

Currently on way home from our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding I didn’t want to forget to leave an amazing review for the wonderful service we received from all the staff at Judd’s Folly .Every single member of the team was friendly professional and attentive.. 26 of us stayed the night before all eating in the restaurant with lots more staying the night of the wedding and everyone said how lovely and clean the rooms were.. the food was delicious and fresh from the breakfast all the way through to the wedding day meal .
A special shout out to the lovely Vicky who welcomed us on arrival at reception with her lovely smile and friendly nature putting us all at ease ,I knew then we was all going to have a great time. She is a little ray of sunshine ☀️ also the young man that attended the bar on both nights I think his name was Cisco ? he was both charming and professional, remembering my little splash of lemonade with every drink without me even having to ask. 🫶
Last, but not least the wonderful Carly🌸
No words are enough for her exceptional work, not only on the day but leading up to the wedding with her constant support for our daughter and her husband
Taking on Every need and request leaving them with nothing to worry about.. Our daughter enjoyed her day with no nerves just pure Joy and that was down to Carly taking complete control with what seemed like at ease, but I can only imagine how stressful it must be with the pressure of someone’s big day in your hands …if anyone was ever in the right job it’s Carly 🫶We as family will be forever grateful to Carl and the whole team xx

Pros:

Prima kamer, rustig gelegen in groot park

Cons:

Het avondeten viel ons erg tegen. We hebben er de eerste avond gegeten, daarna niet meer....
De uitrit vanuit het park waarin het hotel is gelegen vonden we levensgevaarlijk en totaal onoverzichtelijk.
Er zouden spiegels moeten staan om het verkeer op de zeer drukke weg te kunnen zien aankomen.

Pros:

Ubicación fenomenal, limpieza y buena atención del personal.

Cons:

Echamos de menos un poco más de espacio, pues, en una de las habitaciones, eramos tres personas, una de ellas en silla de ruedas, y se quedaba muy justa.
