OVER 25 YEARS OF FINDING OUTSTANDING CORPORATE VENUES

I can honestly say the whole event was absolutely superb! The venue fantastic and the hotel staff couldn’t have been more friendly and supportive – a real joy – they kept my stress levels under control!! No idea yet on next years venue, but would be keen to involve you again in finding an equally fantastic venue in another part of the ITV regions.
So thank you for all your help and coming up trumps for this one!

We all had a wonderful time and the conference went really well.
The food was great, I had an amazing room as I was upgraded to the Hall and that was amazing also the band we booked were really good fun, so generally a huge success.
Thank you for your help.

Testimonial from Pandora

We had a fantastic Away Day. The location was great, the rooms were of a good standard and dinner was very good.
The following day went really well too. Breakfast was first class and the room for our meeting was very comfortable.
Our afternoon activities at Priory Events was great fun – I would recommend the apaches and quad biking.
Thank you for your help in sourcing another venue for our Citisoft Away Day.

We have used English Country Hotels on many occasions and will continue to do so for future events. The knowledge of hotels and ability to understand our requirements for events is impeccable. The venue for our last conference was perfect, the staff were very attentive and facilities were excellent. You make the planning process so much easier for me to deal with and I will certainly be in touch to plan our next event.

Jane and her team at English Country Hotels have been really helpful over the past few years in finding high quality venues with reasonable rates. Jane strives to have seen proposed venues herself so that she is confident in recommending only acceptable venues, and will work on getting the best possible packages. Turnaround time is very quick, with Jane sending through proposals as soon as possible after receiving the brief for an event, more often than not resulting in us finding just what we need.

I found English Country Hotels with a simple Google search when looking for locations for our very first company retreat last Fall. It immediately because apparent that the Director, Jane, has close contacts everywhere, and is not shy about tapping into them to ensure her clients have the best experience. In addition to being kind and patient, Jane sincerely goes above and beyond; from planning to feedback afterwards, InMotion has found a real resource in English Country Hotels. We look forward to working with them again!

I recently worked with Jane to find a hotel for a corporate weekend away – she was incredibly thorough in making sure my requirements were met, and was a massive help in liaising with the hotels for me. Hotel was fab, and all went according to plan. Will definitely be seeking her help again in the future.

Jane English from englishcountryhotels.co.uk has been simply wonderful.
She understood our needs right from the outset and has come back to us only with venues that met our specification. Her communication skills and super-speedy responses are also excellent, and she has been there for our charity throughout the negotiations to secure the venue. It has been a pleasure dealing with her and we will not hesitate to do so again.

It was fantastic. The location was perfect and very impressive!! And the venue was perfect. It was a very good cooperation with the staff of South Lodge. A lot of preparation before the meeting started, and for sure there is a lot to do after the meeting if finished! Thank you so much for your support and your endurance!! I’m looking forward to work with you again.

I just wanted to email you to advise how great the Grove was. I couldn’t fault a single thing. In terms of you finding a hotel for us with the wow factor, at the right price, in the right location, you did an excellent job. The best thing about the hotel was availability of staff who maintained the highest standards of service.

Thanks again for such a great recommendation.
