Venue and Setting
Pros:
"Everything within Davenport House was beautifully laid out and presented, and gave us such a perfect backdrop to have our wedding."
"You feel transported back in time and on your wedding day it really feels like the house is yours."
"Set in the most beautiful location with stunning views no matter where you look and the house itself is just beautiful."
"The house is gorgeous, very historic and just perfect for us."
"So many picturesque parts of the venue guaranteeing some memorable photos and memories."
"Beautiful venue, with the most incredible views."
"The house and grounds are just simply stunning. The house retains its original features, whilst having a stylish and contemporary finish."
"The grounds and accommodation are a delight. A great place to relax and get away from it all."
Cons:
"It’s a nice venue for a wedding but disorganized on the night as the disco was held in the main lobby by the front door which was a bit on the tight side."
"This venue in my eyes was not suitable for any disabled persons as no parking by the building, or any ramps and there are a lot of trip hazards."
"There are so many grounds to explore too. Downstair rooms looked very homely, yet well finished."
"Limited interior space for larger weddings."
"Whilst the staff provided a fantastic service, I was disappointed with the ivernite accommodation."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"Charley was so attentive from the moment we met her, giving us the freedom of the house and gardens to roam whilst being close enough to answer any and all queries we had."
"On the day of our wedding, all staff, from Ian the venue manager to the bar and kitchen staff, were seamless in the way they executed our plan for the day."
"Megan - our wedding planner - was exceptional. From leading up to the day, to on the day, she made sure everything ran smoothly therefore we had no worries."
"The food was very tasty and there was a great selection of drink available - which our guests commented on both."
"Everyone working at Davenport House are beyond excellent and always went above and beyond in every aspect of our wedding planning journey."
"A truly special place. We have stayed for Christmas and also in the summer and the grounds and accommodation are a delight."
Cons:
"There was a lot of trip hazards going in out of the building on the front and rear, there was one accident on the evening with someone tripped and broke a pane of glass in the door."
"I feel the staff were present but the management team need a bit of work on their social skills as they were quite sharp and abrupt."
"The car park is basically a field 'So not so great in heels and rain as my good lady experienced'."
"The bed was wobbly and the clothing rail falling apart."
Food and Beverage
Pros:
"The night before our wedding we had a lovely BBQ, with the menu being diligently built by the kitchen staff, taking into account all dietary requirements."
"The food is also ridiculously good! They catered for everyone, vegans, allergies, children, picky eaters and everyone loved the food!"
"The food was amazing from having capes to the three-course meal and then finally having pizza in the evening."
"The food by Jimmy Garcia and the catering team was exquisite."
"All meals presented lovely, & tasting just as good. Meals served, & taken away, like a military exercise. Just brilliant."
"The food on the night was also amazing as it was homemade pizza cooked outside which was a lovely idea."
"The food was delicious and beautifully presented."
Cons:
"The provision of tea and coffee was also disappointing."
"The breakfast, included in the room rate, was severely disappointing for the amount paid. I expected continental along side a full English. We were only served continental."
"The room we stayed in was just big enough for the bed. The mattress was comfy but the frame was falling apart."
Cost and Value
Pros:
"The ability for us to have the venue for exclusive use over 3 days, with all cottages and on-site accommodation available for our solus use was so convenient and helped us build a perfect event."
"We've stayed there several times and it's our go-to place whenever we visit family in England. Great hosts. Nothing is ever a problem and they always go that extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable."
"We stayed overnight for a wedding (that part was excellent). The room we stayed in was just big enough for the bed."
Cons:
"Price of the drinks were higher than normal based on the venue it could have been worse, Drink was approximately £14 -£20 each depending on what you have a course."
"My Wife bought drinks from the bar, double Bombay Sapphire and tonic and a pint of Lager cost £14.40. I later bought the same drinks cost £16.40."
"It felt like they were taking advantage of the fact that people would pay to stay here, so could hike the prices up and save on outgoings by not maintaining the rooms."
