Celebration Cottages Reviews 

We book the Manor House Escape for a hen do at the weekend and we had the best time! The house was amazing, with plenty of space for activities, partying, eating, and just chilling. The hot tubs were clean, and two hot tubs provided plenty of space for everyone to relax together. We loved the dining area and all being able to sit and eat together, and the lounge, games room and karaoke room were all put to good use too! Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived, the beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were state of the art.

We booked the chefs 3 course meal on the Saturday night and our chef, Paul, was friendly, polite and punctual - and even took a few photos for us! The food was excellent and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

The property manager, Nick, was extremely helpful and friendly when we arrived, and he was prompt at checkout on the Sunday morning too, helping us to get checked out quickly.

We would absolutely recommend the Manor House Escape & 3 course chefs meal to anyone looking for an excellent weekend away.

Celebration cottages were a lovely company to use when organising my best friend’s hen party. They have lots of properties available for big groups and packages to suit budgets. We chose the Woodcroft Estate as it had a heated pool and large hot tub as well as big rooms to entertain everyone in one place. Celebration cottages sorted the butler in the buff so I didn’t have to look at any extras, it was done for me and included in the price breakdown. The house was lovely clean and tidy and the facilities were great. Everything you could possibly need was there. Nightclub party room, karaoke, Bluetooth music system, lots of bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with everything! Would recommend this company to anyone and

amazing company to book with customer service is fantastic, we stayed at Oakland retreat in holmfirth and had the best time the house was beautiful with plenty of room for the 12 of us, and the facilities fantastic. We are already looking at booking again for next year. I highly recommend celebration cottages and the oaklands retreat.

We stayed at Wold View Villa and it was a stunning house, the owner was so lovely and helpful. The booking process with CC was easy enough and staff were really polite and helpful in exchanges.

My feedback would be that it would be fab to be able to book these properties without the need for the add-on activity. We were conscious of budget so opted for the pizza party as it was one of the cheapest, and honestly for the quality of the food we felt it was a rip off. That's not the fault of the house owner/CC, but we'd have liked the option to just book and pay for the property without having a mandatory activity to add on too.

Overall though, we loved our stay and are trying to think of excuses to book it again! Thanks ☺️

Thank you so much for a fantastic weekend at the Black Pearl Retreat for my sister’s Hen Party!
The property was above and beyond expectations, absolutely stunning!
The photographer we booked was lovely too, we’ve had so much fun.
Would really recommend Celebration Cottages, they’ve been a pleasure!

Booked Pool Party Barn through CC for a three generation family event. CC responsive and helpful. Owner also helpful and immediately responsive to a problem. We loved the place and had a great time. My gripe is the Professional Photographer who was expensive but not very good. Didn't take the trouble to get positioning and lighting right, didn't wait for the right moment. Not much better than our phone photos! Disappointing. Usually a professional photographer charges a low rate for shoot and gets money because people buy the photos. Upfront payment means no motivation to get it right. Another time I'd book directly with the owner and be able to book our own photographer.

Avoid and book direct with the venue/s.

Celebration cottages (CC) is one of those event management companies that seems promising but ultimately, is a money oritentated business and it really feels that way.

Their emails, forms and all other aspects are long, convoluted and messy in order to complicate and ultimately protect themselves from responsibilities in any capacity. The formatting is poor and confusing to navigate.

They essentially told us there were not any recommended suppliers for the house we booked. This was never made clear beforehand. When we got to the venue and spoke to the actual owners of the house the story was completely different from the experience with CC so basically, they just didn’t want to refer us to the owners for a different answer and wanted full control to validate their admin fees charged. So, instead of having an easy time booking event companies to do the all the things we wanted, we had to take an obscene amount of decorations and bags which it turns out, we never had too anyway!

They did offer some resolutions after being challenged which were frankly the bare minimum but it all involved so much more work on our part that we didn’t have time to organise things. At no point did they go above or beyond despite the price we were paying being almost £10k.

The suppliers they did have were disproportionately expensive. Who pays £560 for a photographer for only an hour? (One example of many).

Only shoutout is to Jade, who made as much effort as her clerical level could allow. Thank you for being kind and the only person who tried to assist in anyway.

Really we should have used our common sense and booked direct with the venue we chose. My advice ultimately, just jump the hurdle and go direct instead. Save yourselves money and avoid dealing with people who at the end of the day, don’t give a flying -.

They cite family business but certainly don’t act like one, they act more like a huge commercial business that doesn’t care beyond making profit.

I booked a hen party house through these and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful if they tried. My friend had the most amazing weekend for her hen. The chef for the 3 course meal and afternoon tea was very pleasant and couldn’t do enough to help us out. The food was exceptional and we had an all round brilliant weekend

An incredible property set in beautiful surroundings that was spacious, modern and immaculately clean! The Urban Lodge was the perfect location for a hen party and accommodated 15 hens easily. The property had all the amenities that we needed and we particularly loved the karaoke room! The spa treatments were amazing and the ladies doing the massages were really friendly and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend and the Celebration Cottage team were super helpful every step of the way and replied to any queries really quickly. Would recommend to anyone looking for accommodation for a hen do!

Wow!
We booked The Black Pearl Retreat for my hen do and it did not disappoint.
It looked amazing on the photos, but was something else in real life.
Linda the landlord was fabulous. So helpful.
We experienced pizza delivery, spa treatments and a singer. The spa treatments were exceptional.
Thank you for making my hen weekend the best experience.

Great customer service! Lovely accommodation and amazing additional activities which were organised with minimal effort from us!

All communication was polite and helpful. The property was as described. The process was well organised. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic weekend here. There was 14 of us in total for a hen do. We stayed 3 nights and the third night is so worth it. It means we could relax on Sunday and not need to rush out hungover.
We had the 3 course chef meal Saturday and a spa treatment on Sunday. Both were wonderful. The chef made a delicious 3 course meal and cleaned up! The girls who did the treatments did not disappoint. I felt super relaxed and refreshed after.

The house was ideal! We played games in the bar area for the hen, it was lovely to be able to go and take a dip in the hottub or lay in the thermal rooms whenever you fancied. The large house offers so many different areas to unwind and escape the business if you need to. Also loved that there was a full size fridge and freezer as it meant we could take plenty of food to store.

The owner was lovely, gave us some places to go for walks and takeaway ideas.

A very happy house full of hens by the end of the weekends. Absolutely wonderful and will definitely be looking to book again with the company or with the family for the same property.

We have just returned from my friends Hen which was organised through Celebration Cottages and cannot recommend them enough. From booking back in feb through to the week before they’ve been extremely quick and helpful to answer any questions or queries and supported me in any part of the booking especially in sorting activities, which if your booking a property, defiantly do!! The activities made a massive difference, we did pizza party and butler which meant night one food was taken care of and the butler had us all laughing all evening with games and the bride loved it! Professional from start to finish.

We stayed in nightfall cottage and it was perfect for our group! Super clean and high spec.

I cannot recommend them enough, also if you spot a house you like, get it booked as we made the mistake of taking too long to confirm and lost our ‘first choice’ as someone else got in there before us, but all worked out well in the end.

Thank you celebration cottages for taking away some hassles in organising a hen and for providing the perfect venue!

House of Selfies is a huge property with a stunning view. Very modern interior, fabulous bar area and great facilities. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and communication with Celebration Cottages was amazing.

Amazing 2 night stay at the urban lodge!!

Both days were full of entertainment, from the chefs 3 course meal which was unreal, murder mystery night which was hilarious then to the next day with afternoon tea and spa treatments!
The lodge itself was immaculate, tidy, spacious and cool interior!
All 11 of us thoroughly enjoyed our break and would recommend to anyone thinking of booking! :)

I booked a beautiful home with celebration cottages for my best friends hen weekend. I spoke with a few different staff in the duration from initially enquiring in December last year right up until the hen weekend in August. Everyone has been extremely helpful and I would definitely use Celebration cottages again in future.

Back from staying at horizon house for a hen weekend. Had the best time.

Booking through celebration cottages was easy, Lois replied very quick with our package together and answered my million questions I had.

We had afternoon tea by Ollie,murder mystery night, spa massages by three ladies & the chef meal.
Every stage everyone went above and beyond.
The chef Paul was outstanding.

Unfortunately I do have a few negatives ,
The house from outside doesn’t look much. We drove by the house at least 3 times. It could be doing with a sign.

Inside when you walk in , it’s lovely.
it does need some TLC in some areas.
It states nothing to be put on the walls although it’s clearly been done before as the paint work was all marked.

Some of the rooms weren’t the cleanest with dead spiders and cobwebs all over bathrooms.

It is advertised there is a caravan park close by, the caravan park is right behind the house which the rooms look onto & it’s slightly run down.
To get to the bins you go outside the sport hall door and you are on the site.

There is two hot tubs on the site which you only have access to one for 17 people.

We did have an amazing time and I would book through celebration cottage again.

Just come back from an amazing stay at Woodcroft Estate near Huddersfield.
Celebration Cottages made everything so easy, the whole team have been great and very responsive!

We had a 3 course chef meal - Oli was fab. Afternoon tea was gorgeous and so much more than we expected, and Jayne and Joyce did amazing spa treatments which made us super relaxed.

Couldn’t recommend these mini breaks enough! The Sunday stopover is a great value for money and was perfect for the hen party.

Superb service from start to finish.
Found us an excellent venue for our big birthday celebration which was really amazing. We booked optional extras eg cocktails , afternoon tea etc and again they were fantastic, arrived on time and provided an excellent experience.
We will definitely be using celebration cottages again and can highly recommend them .
