Hilles House has granduer and romanance in spades
Hills House is in one of the most beautiful areas of the UK and the house itself and the garden are breath taking. I was lucky enough to attend a wedding at Hilles and the environment added considerably to the experience. Hilles House has granduer and romanance in spades, as well as quirky touches that stick in the vistor's mind, like the mini carriage in the side entrance, or the full suits of armour.

Hilles gave us the flexibility to be creative
We saw lots of venues and so many felt like a 'package' or 'factory wedding'. Hilles gave us the flexibility to be creative and design the day we wanted. Emma was brilliant and we actually really enjoyed the day before decorating with all of our bridal party. We spent the evening before the wedding in the local village pub The Royal Oak which is lovely.

It really is THE location in Gloucestershire
We decided to get married at Hilles House, not only because of it's charming and unique location, but because it really is THE location in Gloucestershire. With a stunningly beautiful backdrop, overlooking mountains, rivers, and fields, we felt there was simply no place that could compare. We were equally charmed by Detmar who has created an oasis for couples and families that want to experience everything Hilles has to offer.

We knew instantly that we had found somewhere spec
We got married at Hilles House in May 2023 and it could not have been a more incredible venue for our wedding. We knew instantly that we had found somewhere special and unique to get married. Detmar and Emma were flexible and helpful in the planning process, which allowed us to have the day we envisioned. The landscape backdrop during the ceremony was stunning and the lawn was perfect for our drinks reception/marquee. Our guests were all so impressed with the incredible views and the charm

A truly stunning location
Many thanks for providing the most magical venue for our daughter's wedding in July. A truly stunning location, with out of this world views, beautiful Arts and Crafts House, and wonderful welcome from Detmar. An absolutely perfect backdrop to a very happy celebration.

I could not recommend Hilles House more!
I could not recommend Hilles House more! We got married there in July 2024 and our wedding was over two days with 130 people. This was the only venue that we went to see initially and we fell in love with it (the views are incredible! The cherry on top of the weekend was the stunning sunset). Many thanks to Detmar for letting us celebrate in his beautiful home - we will cherish the memories for our lifetime.

Wedding with a difference
We’re just about coming down off our incredible high from the wedding. Everyone, absolutely everyone, enjoyed it immensely, and the compliments we’ve had about the yurt and the setting are universally effusive. We will be recommending you to anyone who’s looking to put on a wedding with a difference.

Alex and I wanted to just send an email to say a (belated) but huge thank you. Hilles is such an exceptional venue - we are still hearing incredible feedback from our guests, who couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Not only was Hilles amazing - but so were you! You were totally on top of everything and remained incredibly chilled and easy-going both in the run-up to the wedding and afterwards. I can't express how grateful we are for everything that you did - thank you so much.

Wonderful
We had our wedding at Hilles House on Saturday 11th May and it was more than we ever could have hoped for. I remember my Dad driving me down the long driveway in an old landrover through all of the wild garlic and seeing our guests making their way to the outdoor ceremony overlooking five counties. We had drinks on the terrace in the sunshine, a delicious meal by Cotswold Cooks in the Palace Yurt and watched the incredible sunset before an amazing party. We saw lots of venues and so many felt like a 'package' or 'factory wedding'. Hilles gave us the flexibility to be creative and design the day we wanted. Emma was brilliant and we actually really enjoyed the day before decorating with all of our bridal party. We spent the evening before the wedding in the local village pub The Royal Oak which is lovely. I would really recommend our suppliers as well, our incredible photographer Amy-Rose Photography, Cotswold Cooks and the Enchanted Florist. I wish we could do it again!
