Rachel W wrote a review Dec. 2022
Steve and Trudy organised a fantastic birthday party for my husband. They went above and beyond to ensure that all the guests and us had a great time. We have attended weddings there in the past and would thoroughly recommend the venue for any occasion. Thank you Trudy and Steve a truly memorable day, Rachel and Keith

We stopped here overnight before flying from East Midlands Airport. Everything was absolutely spot on from the moment we checked in, until the time we checked out. The views across the countryside are stunning. With it being close to the airport, you expect a little noise as its on the flightpath BUT after a few have gone over, you don't really notice . The room was clean, tidy and very comfortable, only 1 TINY moan, the 1 we had, had a sloped ceiling, so you could bump your head if not careful . The breakfast was amazing and the staff made it better by cooking what you wanted. By that I mean one of my daughters is extremely fussy and wanted eggs, she asked how they did them and was told straight away " however you want them" and not just "boiled, fried etc". Made to feel welcome from start to finish.…

Myself and husband got married on 3rd September at Melbourne View Hotel and can honestly say we had the best day/evening we could of hoped for. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat if we could. We booked our wedding in 2018 and after amending our day twice due to Covid, Trudy couldn’t of been anymore helpful thought out the 4 years if she tried. Quickly answering any questions we had before the day as things obviously changed. Finally to the day, Trudy ensured everything was going to plan by checking in with the bride (myself). This put me at ease that everything was in hand, she came to collect me, as promised to lead me to the ceremony room, not forgetting to make sure my flower girls knew what they needed to do and giving them clear instructions, which they thankfully followed 😁. From then on, our ceremony room was how we imagined it would be, canapés guest had eaten were perfect and were loved. We had a hog roast and danced the night away with pub priced drinks that guests loved. Finally resting our heads after a wonderful day and woken at 8:30am to the smell of bacon which was the morning breakfast, which was included in the room, being prepared for ourselves and the guests, this was professionally cooked and excellently delivered to our table, this was a lovely ending to our fantastic day. Once finished we prepared for our departures but never felt rushed. We would like to thank Trudy and Steve for our very special day that will forever stay with us. Lynne and Matt Poole…

Very nervous how this would go It was so cheap for the whole day compared to the bigger hotels The package they offered was amazing Can’t fault anything!! And the food was amazing. Hog roast for supper at night was WOW. THE ROOMS ARE LOVELY. Very comfy and look over the grounds towards breedon hill. Everything was very organised- the day was beautiful and casual just like the very happy couple wanted. Perfect. Perfect setting. Perfect decoration and normal priced bar. Recommend??? Of course!!!

Myself and my husband got married at the Melbourne View Hotel in July 2022. Having gone to see the venue 2 years prior and meeting with venue owner, Trudy, we were blown away as soon as we arrived. The hotel is set in beautiful countryside, with lovely grounds that make the perfect setting for photos. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Trudy and her team. Trudy communicated promptly and effectively with us to make sure all the details were confirmed in good time to make the experience as stress-free as possible! We had so many questions about our big day and her experience and knowledge shone through as she supported us. In terms of the special day itself, we and our guests had a fantastic time! The venue staff were polite and helpful, the day ran super smoothly and Trudy kept in contact with myself throughout the entire day. We had numerous positive comments from guests who were so impressed with the venue, how everything you need is all in one place with the option to go outside and enjoy the countryside, or sit inside the open spacious function room or bar area. The hotel rooms were spot on with breakfast included for the next morning too. The hot buffet and BBQ was great, and there was a variety of drink options to cater for all tastes. We would 100% recommend the hotel to anyone looking to book a wedding or function, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Melbourne View Hotel.…

Just writing this off the back of my daughters wedding weekend which went really smoothly and was so enjoyable. Most of the wedding party stayed at the venue at least one night, and the quality of the rooms is high. The venue caters for indoor or outdoor weddings, we were so fortunate with weather and the outdoor setting against the backdrop of the countryside made for exceptional photographs right there. The function suite indoors was beautifully set up, the bride was given lots of flexibility in the arrangements and it provided an intimate venue for our special celebration. The bar stocks a good selection of drinks at quite reasonable prices. Thanks to Trudy and team for your attentiveness and service on the day. I’d highly recommended this venue for a wedding.

The venue was beyond amazing, out guests were nothing but impressed by the venue and the staff. The food was amazing , drinks prices were so reasonable … (always an important part!!) people were so impressed they didn’t have to pay over the odds for their alcohol. the attentiveness of the staff was 100% all day. Every stress I had about a band we booked Trudy was reassuring and kept me calm! The layout was amazing .. all I did was put the place card names out and a few sweets , everything else was just perfect. The phone calls and messages about the day have been so complimentary. Myself and my husband can not praise this venue enough. It was all we planned and more. Trudy looked after myself and the bridal party all day, took care of all our questions leading up to the big day. The setting outside was just beautiful 😍 even the breakfast the following morning was laid out beautifully. We are just still on cloud nine as it was just all we wished for and more. I would tell anyone to book this venue for their wedding. The rooms we stayed in were beautiful, I can’t do the Melbourne View justice with this review. Definitely more than five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The afternoon tea was perfect for a hot summers day and the BBQ was just fantastic in the evening x Trudy was a truly brilliant host, nothing was too much trouble and her advice for what to include for the day was spot on. Please please book you wedding here, we’ve been to a few weddings else where and although I may be biased, this was the best ever !!…

Trudy your level of unprofessionalism to my sisters wedding party over two days was unbelievable. You single handedly tried at every opportunity to undermine and ruin my sisters wedding. We checked in the day before the wedding and it was game on for you. Everything we asked of you was met with hostility. You failed to remember you had been paid a large amount of money for your service. You failed to acknowledge all weddings are unique and you should apply your experience to enhance the vision. You were rude, abrupt and dismissive. There was an unfortunate incident during the ceremony. The wedding party took control to manage the incident and did this very well. Trudy you failed to provide a first aid trained staff to help manage the incident. Following the incident You tried to end my sisters wedding without consulting the wedding party. You then went on to speak to quite a few guests stating the bride had caused the incident due to turning up late. For the above reasons I would not recommend this place to anyone.…

With regard to your recent review, I am more than happy to provide a full response on any issues your sister and husband encountered at their Wedding. In reply to your comments the incident you mentioned was in relation to the Celebrant collapsing and fracturing her nose on her fall. This was due to the fact that the Ceremony did not commence until 3.08pm. The time agreed to commence the Ceremony was actually 2pm. At no point was I, or any other member of staff, advised of any delay. Having managed over 300 weddings, although it is tradition and acceptable for the Bride to be slightly late the amount of time lapse was extreme and no plans could be put in place to mitigate for this happening. You were consulted on a number of occasions by myself whether your sister was ready. In fact at 1.30pm I was advised that the Bride only had her dress to put on, which would not have taken the ceremony past the 2pm start time. Despite this I did note that you did not go into the room until 1.50pm. However, yet again I was not advised of any delay. I also wanted to confirm, that following tests carried out by the hospital on the Celebrant, I was advised that the collapse had been a result of extreme sun exposure and dehydration. Had the ceremony started at 2pm this situation would have been avoided. In addition, a number of my staff also suffered headaches caused by the significant delay. As a Co-Owner it is my responsibility to ensure that all guests, staff and suppliers are kept safe and well on the premises. Clearly this was compromised because of the very long delay which is not acceptable. With regard to having a trained person present this was the case as one of my team is a trained and practising nurse. The Celebrants husband was also in attendance and actually advised his wife that we were extremely helpful and kind. This was communicated in an email to me the following day. I can also clearly state that at no point did I try to end the service. To the contrary, in an attempt to bring the celebration back on track I did in fact consult with yourself about bringing the drinks out. As a business we are responsible to adhere to a variety of laws and legislations, including licensing and insurance conditions. Unfortunately, there was little regard or respect for this which was observed throughout the day. Garden furniture was moved without consent breaking licensing conditions. Some guests were found consuming their own alcohol on the premises which is also clearly noted in our Terms & Conditions. When approached by the other Owner (my husband) he was accused of being ‘micro aggressive’ when he was legally entitled to have the discussion. It was also brought to my attention that a dog had been kept in a bedroom for 2 nights again without consent as pets are not permitted. This resulted in my team having to carry out a full deep clean to ensure that no hairs remained so future guests who may have an allergy were not ill. Musicians also arrived without prior notice. Consequently, the relevant paperwork for insurance purposes could not be obtained neither the limiter used being a condition of our entertainment licence. Given all of the above, myself and my staff went above and beyond to make the day as special as we could given what was not of our making.

We stayed here for Download festival for the 4th time. The staff are still all super friendly and the room and breakfast great. The location is beautiful and the grounds and hotel itself are lovely. I would not hesitate to stay here with my family if I was in the area.
