Aldwick Estate — Hotel in Great Britain

My husband and I got married at Aldwick Estate in March 2024, and it was absolutely incredible. All of our guests raved about how lovely a venue it is - it manages to be intimate even though it's really quite a big space! And it has a perfect rustic meets modern aesthetic! We loved that there were separate spaces, but it was all connected, so it never felt empty or imbalanced.

The outside space was beautiful with excellent views over the mendips, and even though it was very early spring, there were some blooms and colour which made for lovely photos.

The staff are just lovely. Sarah in particular was so helpful, detailed and attentive - I asked plenty of questions in the run up and they always came back to me quickly, and they couldn't do enough!

The accommodation was also excellent. All our guests were very happy with the amenities. The rooms are fairly small but they have everything you could need and they're comfortable. The bridal lodge was fantastic and very luxurious.

Aldwick have a great selection of decor items that they let you use for no extra charge, which is rare at most wedding venues! And the venue really doesn't need much dressing, as it's so beautiful, light and open, with those striking exposed beams.

Their wine is really excellent and we were given a wine tasting as part of our package so we got to experience the accommodation beforehand whilst sampling the great wines that they have on offer.

I am so happy that we chose Aldwick for this very special day, and we're very grateful to the whole team for...

Stayed here last summer as we had the wine tour as a christmas present. The room was clean and couldn't fault the facilities, breakfast is pastries left in your room which was fine. It's literally in the middle of nowhere though and its really hard to get a taxi to local pubs for dinner if you want a drink, you can't walk. They do a hamper but we hadnt booked this beforehand as we didn't realise food would be such a problem. Also the receptionist was very unhelpful when I asked if she could recommend anywhere for dinner, she was actually quite rude. The tour was good if your interested in how wine is made and the wine tastes nice. Approached another member of staff about any nice walks (there aren't any) and was also spoken to quite dismissively. All in all not one member of the staff there made us feel welcome. We're not really wine experts and the man doing the tour was only interested in speaking to the people who were. Seeing as though this was a virgin experience gift, you'd think they must get alot of people who are not necessarily experts. I'm assuming it's an easy place to stay for the airport but I would not recommend it otherwise personally. We spent most of the evening sat in our room. Probably ok for a wedding venue as the main room is nice but no good for your guests as there's only a few rooms and again taxis were a nightmare. Waited over an hour and a half to get one back...

Just a short distance from the main A38, and a few miles from Bristol Airport.

They have some very well built and furnished rooms available onsite to rent, with exceptional views of the valley in which the farm is situated.

One of their old barns has been converted into a modern facility that can be used for conferences; and is also extremely popular as a wedding venue.

It has excellent toilets, a great bar, and kitchen facilities that provide Michelin star rated food.

As part of the farm's policy of diversifying, they planted a number of vines about 15 years ago. Since then they have developed a range of wines, some of which have received the highest awards for quality.

They offer guided tours of their vinyards, and the opportunity to taste some of the product; this was the reason we were there. As part of the tour, you can also order a picnic basket, and then sit out in the grounds, enjoying the view.

They are quite rightly proud of their achievements, and this came across well during the presentation which was extremely informative.

The walk around the vinyard was really enjoyable, but be aware that the ground is heavy clay, so it can be wet and muddy; a change of footwear is recommended.

They sell the wines they produce, either from hhe bar, or as bottles or by the case. It's not cheap, but it is worth indulging in a bottle for a...
