The Croft

We got married on the 3rd October 2024 at the croft. From start to finish we were treated like the king and queen. The food is delicious and the staff team can't do enough for you, they are amazing people who make your special day.

Can’t thank Ami & the staff enough for making our day so special, each and every member of staff went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly. Everyone commented on how beautiful the food was and how perfect the room looked. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding !! Thank you all so much

Well, what can I say, beautiful hotel, gorgeous clean rooms, amazing staff, especially John (GM) he is worth his weight in gold! Nothing was too much trouble and my best friends wedding went without a hitch (apart from the obvious one!) I was one of the bridesmaids and the florist (Serendipity Floral Design, Basingstoke) for the wedding, A conference room was made available for me to work in & throughout my stay, John was checking to ensure me & my family had everything we needed, which we did. The breakfast was delicious and even my fussy children were catered for The wedding breakfast was served in good time, everyone was well looked after & it tasted divine! Reasonably priced food & drinks Lovely, warm, welcoming environment and well set up for weddings and guests alike

We held our wedding here and John the general manager was fantastic in making our day really special. The pre-planning was done to our needs. The venue was beautiful, the rooms clean and comfortable. The bridal suite met and exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing at every meal and the buffet was wonderful. We would thoroughly recommend the Croft Hotel and want to thank John and his team for making our day perfect.

Where do I begin. The Croft hosted our wedding reception including evening so on 7th August 2021. I had very high expectations after reading other reviews and learning about the hotel having won an award for weddings however still could not have anticipated how fantastic it would be. THANK YOU ALL so much. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we will cherish the memories forever. Our wedding was originally planned for August 2020 but was sadly postponed due to covid. During this difficult period the staff have been nothing but supportive and reassuring and moved our date with no issue or extra cost. The staff in general have been absolutely amazing. Every person we spoke to on the phone was more than helpful and the general manager always more than happy to answer any questions we might have. On the day the service was second to none. Special thanks to Jon the most recent general manager and Amy the wedding planner who were both present throughout our wedding day and couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. The day just ran so incredibly smoothly and their attention to detail was fantastic. We had a large wedding of almost 100 guests plus additional evening guests with about 25% staying overnight. On the Friday night the main wedding party had a pre- wedding meal together after our church rehearsal with many guests also staying the Friday night too. From start to finish the food was exceptional. This included the meals on Friday night, our 3 course wedding breakfast, a selection on canapés, hot evening buffet and breakfast both mornings for the guests that stayed overnight. We were able to give our guests a choice of 3 options for each wedding breakfast course and having personally tasted them all, I can attest they were all delicious and very generous portions! The Croft also provided an alternate option for several vegan guests including a choice of canapé and alternative evening buffet choice. The hotel itself was immaculate and has been extremely well attended to with lots of little details such as the beautiful flowers outside. We had our drinks reception in the bar area before moving through to the two huge function rooms for our wedding breakfast and night do. The rooms looked absolutely stunning!!! Saffron and Sage florist and Ultrasound events came recommended by the Croft so we used their services for the room decor including table flowers and candelabras (Saffron and Sage) and DJ set up, dance floor hire, sweet car hire and up lighting (Ultrasound Events). The rooms are so mindfully and tastefully decorated that they will work extremely well with any colour scheme. I will review the other vendors separately but I will say here that they were also fantastic! We absolutely loved the bridal suite room with the separate upstairs dressing area and giant hot tub bath! We chose to stay on another night and could easily have stayed a few more. We had planned on going out for a nice meal somewhere else however we’re so cosy we didn’t want to leave the room and ate dinner in the bar area instead! We paid nearly quadruple the price for 3 nights away elsewhere for our ‘mini moon’ and both agreed we preferred the food and room at the Croft! The value for money is excellent. I know I am extremely biased but I can honestly say it was the best wedding I have been to! There are other ‘posher’ or ‘more pricey’ venues close by but I truly mean it when I say that I would still chose the Croft each and every time. Everything about it was just so wonderful and so much better than we could have imagined. Thank you so much to all of the team that made it so special

Our wedding day was way more amazing than we ever dreamed it could be and its all thanks to all the staff at The Croft Hotel. To say that the food was amazing is an absolute under statement and the staff couldn’t have been any more attentive and thoughtful. We can never truly thank you enough

Firstly I would like to say the biggest thank you to John and all his team and staff that made our day one to remember. The level of professionalism and care we received were second to none. Everything from organising prior to the day, last minute adjustments for guests, the faultless service we and our guests received during the wedding was truly amazing, nothing was too big of an ask or a problem and you were always greeted/served with a smile. Our day ran smoothly with no issues. The ceremony/wedding breakfast rooms were beautiful, coupled with the lovely decorated bar area to which all our guests commented on how much of a stunning/homely venue it is. The 3 course wedding breakfast was received with many compliments on how delicious it was with generous portions… it was some of the best food they have ever eaten. Our stay in the bridal suite was a much needed break after such a busy day… lovely, clean and stocked with various toiletries to ensure we were able to relax. Breakfast was promptly delivered to our room the following morning which was also high quality and again served with a smile. We would highly recommend anyone to have their wedding/event here with John and his team” Thank you again for everything

We had our wedding on Easter Monday and we had a fantastic day. From the initial wedding enquiry the guests arriving from the Sunday and the complete wedding on the Monday everything was faultless. All our guests commented on the food and said how good it was and there was more than enough. Some guests even said it was the best wedding they had been to and what a great venue we had chosen. John, Ami, Lauren and all the staff couldn’t be more helpful and hardworking and made our day so special. We can’t thank them enough

Where to start, my wife and I held our wedding reception here and we couldn't ask for a more perfect day!! From the planning stages and rearranging stages due to covid Ami couldn't of been more helpful, nothing was a problem to her and her input was extremely helpful. Nothing was missed and every detail was noted and acted on. In the week leading up to the wedding what I would call the stressful stage they made things so easy. Extra rooms, last minute changes was all just taken in there stride. On the night before the wedding several guests arrived and were made to feel more than welcome. The day of the wedding nothing and I mean nothing was a problem. John had every detail taken care of and took time out of his busy schedule to speak to us both make sure everything was going to plan. Everything was perfect all our guests complimented how nice the food was and how great the service was. Several compliments on the rooms and the breakfast the next morning. Chef did an amazing job, John did an amazing job, Ami did an amazing job and hats off to all the other staff that made our day so fantastic. We can't thank you all enough
