Northern Hideaways Apple Store, Ellingham

We got married here on the 26th August and it is clear why the team at Ellingham have won so many awards. Their attention to detail was second to none and we left the venue feeling quite emotional as everything was so perfect. We arrived the night before and had a lovely BBQ Buffet with our closest family and friends. Then on the wedding day we literally didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was taken care of and we were free to enjoy our day together. All of our guests commented on the amazing venue, rooms and especially the food! An extra special mention to Debbie who we worked with throughout the entire year of planning, she is an absolute diamond. Also to Matt who on the day helped bring everything together seamlessly. You made our wedding day one we will never forget and for all of the right reasons. Thank you so much.

As the venue for my son's wedding I doubt we could have found a more perfect venue. From the first time we visited to look round we just knew this was going to be a first class experience. From our arrival to our departure we couldnt have recieved better treatment. Nothing was too much and all the staff seemed to go out of their way to ensure we enjoyed every minute. The food was excellent with substantial portions and plenty of choice. Accommodation was quality with extremely comfortable beds. We have nothing but praise for the staff and our stay over the 2 days.

Very misleading as Apple Store is Not owned by Ellingham Hall Estate . The cottage is in a lovely setting, is Clean and functional, however the interior does not match the surroundings, it’s tired , and the decor outdated . Disappointing.

The Apple Store looks lovely from the outside , and is set in a lovely location. sadly the interior although clean could not hide the fact that it is tired and well worn. The decor did not match the beautiful countryside around about . . Won’t be returning.

My daughter and her husband got married on 5th February, what a fantastic weekend we had. We all arrived on Friday evening and from the off everything was first class, the setting, bar area, and our meal that night was very good. Our room was amazing (I know we had a bigger room than most) the wedding itself was very well organised by the very friendly staff, the meal was again first class, the evening dancing was enjoyed by all.So Ellingham Hall, well done, I hope we can back some time.

The wedding venue was nice and I think my family enjoyed it but I have to say the accommodation for guests is poor, I would go as far as to say it was a rip off. The bridal suite looked lovely however. My issue was with the guest bedrooms and facilities. Three rooms sharing a bathroom is not acceptable if you are charging £280 for 2 nights. No one was warned about this and for some of us with a medical issue this wasn't good. This was honestly one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in and had I not been there for a wedding and not wanted to upset my family I would have have asked for a refund and left. Our bedroom door would not close it kept popping open. Paintwork was dark and shabby but was also in need of attention. The room was so dark and gloomy we could hardly see. Curtain rails hanging off and hard to open and close the windows. I have stayed in cheap budget hotels on business that are far superior to this. Not what I was expecting. Maybe they don't expect people would dare to complain for fear of upsetting their families. Breakfast on day of wedding was one sausage sandwich take it or leave it that was all you were getting and there was no choice. It tasted horrible. I asked for something else but was told they could not offer me anything and made me feel it was my fault - I should have asked for a vegetarian breakfast. We were very hungry indeed as the food was not served until late afternoon. The next morning when we were leaving there was a full breakfast served and it was excellent, lots of choice. It would have been better if we could have had that in the morning of the wedding which was a long tiring day for some of us oldies, rather than as we were leaving. Our keys were just dumped on a table when we arrived. There is no signage to tell you where to pick up keys and no signs for reception as there isn't one. It was disorganised. The facilities downstairs were good although the bar wasn't well stocked- no Rose Zindafel just prosecco or gin really take it or leave it. I think the couple getting married really enjoyed their wedding and that is the main thing but personally I really hated the room we were given and felt ripped off by the hotel.
