Esseborne Manor is a small, unpretentious yet stylish hotel.

The house, which for over 100 years has been a country retreat, still retains the feel of a private home with a friendly host, warm and caring staff and abundance of fresh flowers in comfortable lounges and bedrooms where you are pampered with fluffy towels and robes, local spring water and home biscuits.

This country house hotel with its 19 well appointed bedrooms and restaurant famed for its exquisite English/French cuisine, is set within three acres of beautifully landscaped gardens overlooking the gently rolling hills between Newbury and Andover.

The house and grounds are available for exclusive use for a wedding ceremony, reception and evening party.
Wedding ceremonies of up to 100 guests can be held in the elegant Tapestry Room or smaller more intimate ceremonies can be held in the lounge.

The tapestry room can accommodate up to 80 guests for a seated wedding reception whilst a marquee on the lawn is better suited for larger parties of up to 120 guests.

Esseborne Manor provides a beautiful setting for your wedding, as witnessed by the fact that over fifty weddings are held every year at the Manor, most of which have exclusive use for the day.

One of the unique points about Donnington Grove is that it is not yet too big in terms of being a wedding venue.

Donnington Grove is still primarily a golf course; golf breaks and tuition breaks are very popular. Often these are booked many months in advance, which can mean that certain weekends are not available for weddings. This means that Donnington Grove still has that aura of exclusivity, not everyone who wants to get married there can, so it definitely ticks the right boxes if you’re looking to do something different.

What we really like about Donnington Grove is the photo opportunities. As well as the old gothic mansion, there is an authentic Japanese Temple, amazing scenery, a lake, a river; it’s all there to take advantage of. Being a golf course, you don’t even have to walk anywhere because they’ll happily lend you and your photographer a golf buggy to get around in.

Donnington Grove have a fantastic head chef, so if you’re looking for something a little different for your Wedding Breakfast or food for your reception; we would recommend that you meet with him a few months prior to the big date and arrange a sampling menu. You’ll even get a chance to taste the wines before making an informed choice.

Hopefully by now you’ve got the impression that Donnington Grove is a classy setting for your wedding. They provide an experienced wedding planner who will help you with the small details, leaving you to enjoy the build up to your big day.
