Cockliffe Country House

We played here with my string quartet (ebor quartet) back in April. The venue is lovely, staff friendly and has a real nice vibe to it. The food on our break was incredible too!

My wife and I got married on 29/07/2022 and have to say that if you’re thinking about getting married here, do it! Sacha took over our event half way through planning but did an absolutely sterling job. Our day went perfectly (the garden/grounds is perfect for an acoustic set for guest arrival). The staff were all brilliant on the day and the food was amazing. Lots of our guests (some of whom have been to lots of weddings) said that the food was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. They were right - the food was piping hot for everyone (staggered table by table service was the key) and cooked perfectly.

We cannot say thank you enough to Cockliffe for giving us the best day ever for our wedding. The Team were supportive, professional, responsive and knowledgeable right from the beginning of the process, which we really appreciated as we didn't know where to start when it comes to planning a wedding! They were happy to hold our hand throughout the whole process. The day itself was absolutely flawless, with staff sorting out things that we had not even thought about, getting things done behind the scenes and solving any problems that arose before we even knew there was an issue. The food was delicious, all our guests have commented on how wonderful the food was, from the three course wedding breakfast to the evening buffet and the breakfast served the morning after. But the staff are what make this place, they are superb. It was like having your wedding organised and run by friends - they were so kind, so friendly and so helpful but make no mistake, these people are professionals and know what they are doing. When the night came to an end, the Cockliffe staff packed up all our things while we went to bed and in the morning it had all been carefully stored in the reception area for us to collect and load into the car. I am aware that we were the fifth wedding they had back-to-back that week, with more after us in the following days but you wouldn't know it with the warmth, support and enthusiasm they showed us for our wedding. All the staff, without exception, those behind the bar, those serving food, Sam & Dan in the horse cart and those cleaning up were superb. Special thanks go to Sacha, Kate and Demi, three of the warmest, calmest and most professional people we have ever met. The venue speaks for itself, it is gorgeous and comfortable. So thank you again Cockliffe for giving us, our family and our friends the best day ever.

Such a beautiful hidden gem. Stayed here with my husband multiple times for some peace and just to get away from our hectic lifestyle. The staff are very welcoming and the grounds are beautiful

Had a great time, lovely wedding venue. Good food, staff excellent and our room was really good, we stayed in the converted out building.

We held our wedding at Cockliffe Country House in June this year and would highly recommend the venue. Andrea and her team were really friendly, helpful and professional and communication was good from first booking in 2018, through 2 Covid delays until the day finally came. They looked after the little things as well as the big ones and helped our day run really smoothly. The food was great and the accommodation was also very spacious and comfortable. The venue benefits from great indoor and outdoor space and had everything we needed

We absolutely give Cockliffe Country House five stars. We got married here in September and we couldn't have felt more looked after by the team. We mainly dealt with Andrea and Sacha and they were both extremely easy to deal with and couldn't do enough to make sure we were happy with arrangements made. The main room is beautiful and was perfect for the ceremony and the reception. There is a lovely outside space where we very much enjoyed time after the ceremony. We had a wonderful day and we really think it was the staff as well as the venue that helped make that happen.

Looked around with a view to a wedding venue must first say staff were excellent. on this occasion it wasn't for us though. one or two things didn't mesh with what we wanted first impressions are of a well used location that could do with a bit of tlc carpets in both bridal suits were stained in one the 4 poster bed was coming apart on the base toilet seats in a couple of the apartments were chipped. thought it was just me being overly critical but bearing in mind there's a damage deposit having a looked at a few other venues on a similar cost Cockliffe could do with a little maintenance to put a bit more of a finish on it
