Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We got married here on the 21st October 2023, and we are so happy we did! The most incredible and personal experience we could ever ask for! From the moment we viewed the venue, where we got to meet Lewis we just knew this was...the perfect venue for our wedding. Nothing was ever to big of an ask, Lewis and the team went above and beyond. I stayed in the prep and Pamper suite the night before, I would highly recommend. The details that were left in the room for us blew me away. We had a little bag each of toiletries, robe, slippers. Tea & coffee fully stocked with biscuits. The fridge was stocked with water, juice, milk and prosecco. Loved the fact there was an indoor and outdoor speaker too. The make up and hair stations are perfect. The wedding day itself was out of this world! Lewis & Nicola were amazing you were both our fairy god parents on the day. You sorted our suppliers, ensured every detail was spot on and kept our belonging safe. The customer service from all of the staff over that weekend was fantastic. What an incredible team! We loved the little touch when we went up to our room the night of the wedding and there was a bottle of champagne on ice waiting for us. The food well what can we say..it's unreal, cooked to perfection! Chris and his team did an outstanding job. You all made us feel like royalty and we can't thank you enough. Outstanding team and Venue! Thank you 🤍More

WOW, what can I say. My daughter just had her wedding here and it was the best day ever. Stayed the night before and had the wedding the following day. From the time we arrived nothing was too much trouble. The organisation was beyond belief,...the food was amazing and the service impeccable. The team go above and beyond to make sure the day is really special and I would definitely recommend it for any event you may be thinking of holding.More

WOW! When hunting for our special venue for our wedding day, still to this day 2 years later my new husband and I cannot get over the feeling we felt when we first drove up to De Courceys Manor. We both had butterflies in our...stomachs and still feel like that today. From our first meeting with Lewis, he was AMAZING. There are no other words we can use to sum up how amazing he was/is. Nothing was too much for him & he would answer all our questions that we had. The advice he gave and support we received from Lewis and the team around him was mind blowing. During the time of us wedding planning, I fell pregnant had our baby girl, and fell ill which resulted in me being in hospital a few weeks before our Wedding. Lewis and his team were so accommodating and supported us throughout. We provided them with things we would like and Lewis and the team at DCM got it done. They were fantastic, so understanding with our circumstances at the time and supported us through every decision. Fast forward to our special day, everyone was wonderful. Abi, Nicola, Lewis and the rest of the team was so polite and helpful. Again, nothing was too much trouble for them and they would always make sure that we and our guests were happy. Lewis helped with the groomsmen putting on the buttonholes, Nicola (Hoping that we got her name right) to helping me with my shoes and dress. Abi being an all rounder and checking in on me and my bridal party the morning of our wedding. The food was AMAZIING! Absolutely delicious, all the guests still are talking about the food nearly a month on! Also, everyone are still staying how amazing the day was thanks to the staff at DCM. We could keep writing about how amazing the day and staff was but we would be here all day. We would definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you so much! Mr & Mrs Johnson xxMore

WOW!! That sums up our wedding day and experience with De Courcey’s Manor. Myself and my now husband got married at De Courcey’s on 3.6.23. The whole experience from when we viewed the venue in July 2021 all the way to our wedding date, De...Courcey’s have been absolutely fantastic in every way. Lewis and Abigail were our main contacts and were always happy to answer our questions and reassure us when needed. The wedding day itself was seamless from start to finish. The co-ordination, the arrangements and service from all staff was amazing. One of the most important things about the day, the food! The food was delicious, from the canapés, to the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet. We are big foodies and De Courcey’s exceeded our expectations with the quality and quantity of the food. Guests were also very impressed with the quality of the food. So many of our friends and family have made comments about how staff were so attentive and accommodating to all guests. The Prep and pamper room was really enjoyable and such a relaxing pre-wedding evening and wedding day morning. It was lovely to have Prosecco whilst in the hot tub listening to some music and relaxing. Beds were all comfortable, great facilities, and breakfast in the morning was delicious. Thank you so much for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!More

I can’t explain how amazing this venue is! De Courceys really is just beautiful! It’s so intimate and private, just a perfect setting for a wedding. When we started to look at venues De Courceys was the first place we viewed. And from the moment...we met with Abigail, we both said how special we were made to feel. We knew from that initial meeting that it was the venue for us! Throughout the 2years of planning Abigail was always just an email or call away, we visited the venue numerous times and nothing was ever too much trouble. On the day we were lucky enough to have the option of having the ceremony in the new secret garden… all I can say is WOW! It is just incredible. Such a special area and perfect on a summers day. The staff make this venue what it is, Nicola was amazing on our special day. She felt like part of the wedding party. Every single staff member cannot do enough for you and the guests. Also a special mention to Rachel, who made me feel so at ease when i was sent into panic over our singer waiter… with everyone being outside. Rachel soon sorted that and everything worked out perfectly! Our day was just the most perfect day we could ever ask for! The amount of guests that have said it was the best wedding they’ve been to, has just been so heart warming and that’s down to this stunning venue and the people who run it! Cannot recommend De Courceys Manor enough 🫶🏽 Thank you again so much… we can’t wait to come up and visit for one of your lunches!More

There are not enough positive words in the world to describe how wonderful De Courceys Manor is. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. From the moment we arrived and met Abigail, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The grounds...and venue itself is simply stunning and the space is just fantastic for a wedding. When you get married at De Courceys, you and your guests really feel you are part of the most special event ever. That’s because the staff make you feel like this. The attention to detail is nothing short of exceptional. Even down to the fact that the staff all pop the corks off your bubbly at the same time for your toasts, the noise is quite something! All our guests were completely blown away. The food choices are awesome and the taste and quality is second to none. No question was ever too much, nothing was ever too much trouble and we knew we had nothing to worry about on the big day because we knew De Courceys had all the information and we were in the safest hands. Even with the last minute arrangement of a glow in the dark crazy golf experience, everything went as smoothly and was even better than we thought. The accommodation is beautiful and the pamper and prep suite is a luxury to have the morning of the wedding. We cannot recommend De Courceys highly enough and we can’t wait to come back for Sunday lunch soon!More

The buildings and grounds are maintained to a very high standard, Lewis and his team are exceptionally...good at what they do and nothing is too much trouble for them.

What an amazing venue for my party. We had 47 guests including 2 children. Abigail and Lewis were extremely helpful with the planning. I chose a Sunday Lunch. The choices were really good, a number of my guests came back saying their mouths were watering...just reading the options. On the day the venue was beautifully prepared just as we'd agreed. The chef came out to meet us and we loved his passion and pride in his food. It was justified. The food was delicious, and plentiful. Everyone was very complimentary about the whole afternoon. One of our guests sent me a message to pass on: ‘If you’re feeding back to De Courcy’s can you say the staff were superb. Polite, efficient, unobtrusive and very helpful. They are a credit to them’ I cannot praise Abigail and the team highly enough. It was a day to remember and I would recommend anyone to book with De Courceys for a special event. And we will certainly return for a Sunday lunch there soon.More

Wow!!! Where do we start…. From the first time we viewed De Courceys Manor we knew it was the one for us, we fell in love with it instantly. Due to COVID we had a to postpone our wedding on multiple occasions but when the...day finally arrived it was absolutely perfect! Abigail, Lewis and the team couldn’t do enough for us and our guests. Everything was amazing. The team went above and beyond not only for us but our guests also. The venue is stunning, plenty of space for guests to spread out. The food was out of this world and could easily compete with a Michelin starred restaurant!! Everyone asked me if I was nervous and I can honestly say that I wasn’t but this was because I knew the De Courceys team had everything in hand and under control as they’re perfectionists, we were not just another wedding, we were part of De Courceys family. Most of our guests have said ‘it’s the best wedding and venue they have ever been to’ Abigail, Lewis and team you really did make our dream wedding become reality and we can’t thank you enough!More

Attended a Christmas party here, was not served the correct food. I informed one of the young male servers and he told me that there were the correct numbers of soup on the table, some guests couldnt remember what they had ordered ( nothing to...say names and orders on the table just a list of how many of each had been ordered. As a result I did not get what I wanted and had ordered as other people had the starters just placed in front of them and started eating them! Food however was good just not enough veg with the mains and portion size could of been a bit bigger,service was in my opinion, awful. Some examples of this were leaning over to get glasses, cutlery, plates practically dropped on to the table… Seemed very inexperienced to be dealing with large groups of people. Also staff were in a rush to clear tables we were not allowed to keep the cheese they cleared it, didn’t get a coffee as they came around once and then disappeared. Venue was also freezing in the corridors and toilets. Beautiful venue, service at the table was very poor. Bar staff friendly and efficient. Probably won’t return.More
