    Staff are lovely, venue is beautiful, absolutely loved it here. The staff accommodated everything asked, constantly checking if everything is okay and offering help. Gorgeous venue for weddings, highly suggest if you need service with a smile, help and a beautiful place. Breakfast was amazing, both the handed out and buffet. In the evenings the staff where on everything you needed help with. Every staff member was brilliant. My only minors were, it was cold and the heating kept going off in the main building which meant we were freezing (kids crawled into bed with me and we had our own extra fleece blanket) Staff switched it on just takes a while to heat the room. (But it's an old style building so boilers have issues) Several people stated that there beds were far too firm and very uncomfortable mattresses. (I moved into the pull out bed once kids got in mine and that was easier to sleep in) The side building was a sauna when going over, but access to your own digital thermostat to change this. Suggestions for updates with the manor if they ever get the funding: Windows replaced from wood to double glazing, boulder and heating replacements, with the same thermostat system they have in the other building and new mattresses that are not so hard. Every place has its issues but despite the issues the staff did everything to sort and make it comfortable, stress free and helped our every need.

    We booked my wedding at Kelham House Country Manor in 2021 after our wedding was cancelled twice from another venue. Claire Rawson was extremely friendly, kind and accommodating. She made us feel at ease and was thorough during all our appointments. We are so glad we came to Claire as she organized our day into something spectacular. She went above and beyond for us, and her team were fantastic, she had an eye for detail when it came to our wedding, and she listened to us every step of the way. Our day turned our perfect even if the day was against us, Claire and her team were by our side the whole way. The food was delicious, and all our guests had nothing but compliments! We really had the best day and Kelham House made that possible for us! We cannot thank Claire and her team enough for everything they had done for us and there is nowhere else we would have had this experience.

    We had our wedding here on 5th March, fantastic venue and very well organised. Ideal for weddings of 100 people or less. We had fireworks in the grounds and the venue comes with 12 bedrooms so family can enjoy the day without worrying about getting home. Very well ran and excellent staff, thanks for making our day go so smoothly.

    We had our Civil & Hindu Wedding/Reception Party at Kelham House Country Manor and we have to thank both Claire's for being amazing and not to forget the Team - They were superb! Not only were they fantastic hosts but also enjoyed a good party which made it extra special! From the day we met Claire.S to start wedding planning to the morning that we checked out, she and the Team couldn't have done anymore for us, our family and friends - to the point in which my now husband spoke about them more then me in his speech but they deserved it! Thanks again - Ravi & Priya x

    My wife and I got married here a few weeks back and we have to say we are so glad we chose Kelham House. The staff were so friendly, the food was incredible and nothing was too much bother for them The venue is situated in woodlands, which has produced some really nice photos from our photographer. They also have the option to get married outdoors which was one of the biggest selling points for us, even if it rained! We love it so much, I wish we could do it all again

    We arranged an afternoon tea in the garden view room for 55 guests in June 2021. The food sandwiches, deserts, hot drinks and soft drinks were all on point,. All our guests really enjoyed our time here. We received such a great service from start to end. The staff were all so professional, and would promptly respond to any email or phone enquires, the manager Jon-paul was lovely and showed us around the property on short notice. Highly highly recommend this venue for any of your events. Thankyou so much to everyone at the venue that made our day special.

    Lovely wedding venue and hotel. We stayed at Kelham Manor Country House for the weekend of our wedding (which was at Kelham Hall opposite the Manor). The staff were incredible from the start of our stay. We had an amazing weekend at Kelham, service, the breakfast and the bar were great throughout. The venue itself is also lovely for a wedding and the grounds are lovely. Would definitely recommend!

    Our daughter had her wedding ceremony here. The wedding breakfast was amazing, everything was hot and well presented. The evening buffet was also fantastic. The staff are absolutely fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble and they were so friendly. I cannot thank the staff enough and I definitely highly recommend for any event 👌 I will certainly return. Thank you again for making my daughter and son in law day so special.

    Went for a wedding reception. The location, grounds and function rooms are well presented, clean and pretty. Only downside was the price of the drinks at both function bars, by 7pm they had run out of glassware, so drinks were served in odd glasses still warm from the washer. For £7.20 for a single house gin and tonic, it was a little disappointing.

    We went for a wedding, overall it was a beautiful day, but a couple of things let it down. The wedding ceremony took place outside and 5 minutes before the bride was due to walk down the Isle the staff decided to roll out the carpet which was covered in dirt and old confetti and shook the carpet out and it went all over the guests. Not impressed due to being in best clothes, it was pretty disgusting, plus old confetti and cigarette butts were in the grass which looked a mess. When dinner was served some of the staff were a little sloppy in their serving style and gave the vegetarians the meat dishes. Like I said, overall the day was lovely and the staff friendly.

    Weeding party & over night at the single storey room beside. Normal style Hall like other weddings hall. Room very good standard in room ( not outside ) . Feel like 4 star . If high request for photography might be not enough spots.

    Booked a wake in the garden room. Claire was fabulous, she made the whole process easy. We had afternoon tea and the bar was open. The rooms are £135 per night per room with breakfast and we had guests who stayed and they really liked it. All in all beautifully organised, great food, staff and location. A perfect send off.

    Attend a function here which I have done previously. The food is served in an annexe which is extremely cold as there is no heating. The food whilst on the whole was good the jacket potatoes were over cooked to the point of being close to burnt

    Our daughter got married here yesterday and it was the most amazing day ever. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. It was a very emotional time for us and we all had the time of our life. Thank you especially to Clare, the wedding organiser. You made it so special for us and the photographs you handed us this morning topped it all.

    Stunning location for a wedding. We went for our friends wedding and the food and service was top notch. The house and views were also very idyllic

    Firstly, a massive thank you to Claire and all the team at Kelham House for giving us the most amazing wedding day. From the first moment we walked in to look around, we knew that Kelham House was our wedding venue. Yes, the venue is beautiful. Sure, the grounds are stunning. However, it is the team that make the place so desirable. We were treated like family from the very first conversation with Claire. Throughout the entire planning process, every request was met with a smile and nothing was ever too much trouble. Claire provided fantastic recommendations for photographers and decorations and as these are suppliers they've worked with in the past, they know the venue and the team and it just makes everything run seamlessly. We started to come to think of Kelham House as a second home and as such when the big day came it just worked out perfectly. Holding our ceremony outside was a truly unforgettable experience in the beautiful grounds, and using the same grounds to entertain our guests with garden games and fireworks as the night progressed made it exactly how we wanted our wedding to be. The food was fantastic, seeing an army of staff bringing food out to the tables was a sight to behold and testament to the professional nature of the entire team at Kelham House. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much to everyone at Kelham House, you were amazing and provided us with memories that will live with us forever.
