Fennes Estate Reviews 3

I have been a professional wedding photographer for close to 30 years, I have shot many weddings at The Fennes and always found it a great location.
But - I recently stayed as a guest, I have to say it’s a very different experience 😢.
The rooms are incredible expensive, one of the guests wanted a family room which is advertised at one price but if you add another bed to create the ‘family room’ it rises even more!!!
We had a late night (as you do) but staff were hovering outside our rooms at 0830. We had to have our rooms completely cleared before breakfast!
Breakfast- wow, what an experience - the young lady serving us didn’t say more than a dozen words. You arrive for breakfast and there is no guidance, there were a plate of small croissants, most people took two- it was only later we were told it’s one each and there are no more!
There was no choice for breakfast, it just arrived plated up, the same for everyone, including the chalk children.

I could have stayed 15 mins down the road a a premier inn, had a bit of a lay in and had the breakfast of my choice.

Really sad that after an amazing day the only talk was of a really poor stay. I hope this post will improve things for future guests.

I have not given the exact date as I don’t feel it’s right for the B&G

Lovely venue but found some staff miserable. Stayed in the house and staff was outside our room at 7am. 8.30 staff knocking on the door to say breakfast at 9am and take all belongings and key to reception which we all know we had to be out by 10am. The guest book say's breakfast is 9.30. If I went to another wedding there I would be staying at the Premier Inn much more friendly

We recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Fennes, and we have to say, it truly lived up to its reputation as a perfect wedding venue. Set in 100 acres of tranquil countryside in North Essex, the venue provides a stunning backdrop for your celebration. The dedicated team at Fennes have years of experience when it comes to weddings, and they leave nothing to chance. This is evident in every detail, from the impeccably manicured grounds to the expertly orchestrated events. The level of care and attention given to each couple and their guests is truly impressive and made our job as photographers so much easier. Every moment was captured in the most beautiful and natural way possible, thanks to the magical setting and the hardworking team at Fennes. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a perfect wedding day.

Kindest regards
