The Rooms

Each of the rooms in the main hotel has it’s own personality and are decorated with splendour mixed with a true country house feel. The Ballroom is used for weddings and wedding breakfasts’ and is filled with natural light and elegant period features, it has doors which open up onto the lawn and it’s own private bar for your big day.

The drawing room is light and airy and has a very opulent yet relaxed feel, it is licensed for smaller ceremonies for a more intimate wedding. If weather doesn’t allow an outdoor drinks reception, this is the perfect and alternative place to host it.

The Library can also be used for both ceremony or drinks reception and both this and the drawing room are used for larger weddings – it offers a more warm and traditional feel with open fires and beautiful soft furnishings. It’s also the perfect place for a quiet and chill out zone for on the wedding day itself.

The Library Eshott Hall

Included in your exclusive package are the use of the 17 bedrooms, including the Bridal Suite for the night of the wedding. We stayed in the spacious Bainbridge suite, a luxury double bedroom with beautiful and complimentary decor. It had some lovely touches and we were greeted with fluffy robes and slippers, an array of magazines, a guide to the area and places to visit, and of course complimentary drinks for our stay.

We got to sample the a la carte menu and our evening meal was an absolute delight. It was a true reflection of the excellent cuisine and impeccable service that you would receive at the Hotel for your wedding. We were greeted as we arrived for dinner and shown into the Library for per dinner drinks and canapes, this room, decorated in a gentlemen’s club style, had a luxurious and moody feel and was the perfect environment to relax before dinner. It also gave us the opportunity to browse the menu at ease and order before being shown to our table.

We indulged in an exquisite four course meal and were wowed by the quality of the cuisine served to us… a real treat, which included to start an assiette of seafood with crab souffle and scallops, pork tenderloin, pigs cheek and black pudding bon bon for main course and a real highlight, the dessert, which was an array of rhubarb delight including a rhubarb macaroon, rhubarb bakewell, rhubarb clotted cream and ice cream! We finished off with the most delightful petit four, which including salted caramel truffles… it’s safe to say we were in a definite food coma by the end!

A huge thanks to the hotel for providing us with such a lovely stay, away from the hustle and bustle of town life.
