Woodlands Country House Hotel

The feel

A Special House for a Special Occasion

Woodlands Country House Hotel, which was formerly a Victorian farmhouse, is set in the beautiful village of Brent Knoll and has almost three acres of grounds. Its elevated position beneath the ancient hill fort of Brent Knoll, gives outstanding views towards the Quantock Hills and provides the perfect venue for your special day. The gardens offer a splendid backdrop for your special photographs, as well as providing the children with an ideal, yet safe area to play.

Your wedding day is probably the most important day in your life and takes a great deal of organising. Paul, Sarah and our dedicated team will attend to all the details surrounding your special day at Woodlands, and personally ensure your day runs smoothly, offering help and advice when needed. We can put you in touch with a variety of wedding services.

Woodlands is licensed to hold Civil Ceremonies and we can offer you a choice of rooms for your ceremony depending on the numbers attending. For the smaller wedding, we offer a pleasant Garden room overlooking the hotel garden, which will hold up to 20 guests. Alternatively, we can offer our elegant Somerset Room, which has a capacity for up to 60 people. Our terrace is also licensed, and is very popular for an outdoor wedding ceremony overlooking the beautiful gardens, weather permitting , however we can recommend marquee suppliers should you want to weather proof your special day.

Our elegant Somerset Room lends itself for a Wedding Reception, and we can seat a maximum of 56 guests, which can be extended to 70 should you also wish to use the Garden room. Should you wish to extend your wedding celebrations into the evening, then we can accommodate 100 guests for an informal party.

We have carefully thought about the menus for your Wedding, and hope that you will find they tempt your taste buds! We offer formal dinner menus or buffet menus for those who are looking for a more relaxed and informal atmosphere. If you decide to extend your celebrations in to the evening, then there is a finger buffet menu, or for something really different why not choose a barbeque or hog-roast. Our High teas set with vintage china are really popular and are an elegant way to celebrate your special day. In order to cater for all tastes, we include some choices for vegetarians.

Evening parties are becoming more popular as a way to include more friends and family to your celebrations. Guests can enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere and we have a music licence so you can have a small band or a disco. In the past we have had a variety of themes, from string quartets, jazz bands, discos and casino nights.

We have 10 bedrooms rooms consisting of eight individually decorated double bedrooms, all with en suite facilities, colour television, complimentary sherry and hospitality trays, and our Family Suite of two bedrooms with a private family bathroom. For the Bride and Groom of course there is our Bridal Suite, which is a beautiful spacious double aspect room, our Four Poster room (very traditional!).
