My husband and I got married at the Elephant in June and the whole day was run absolutely brilliantly. We cannot thank Claire, Chris and the rest of the team enough – they really went above and beyond to make our day incredible.

Katharine

Lovely hotel with lots of character!

Keith

I was taken back to Singapore in our room with beautiful antique furniture and wall art. Staff were very friendly and went out of their way to welcome our dog too.

My sister and I have just spent two nights at the Elephant Hotel . Our room was well equipped and decorated beautifully, situated in the annex it was quiet and overlooked the garden and church. The general manager Chris was welcoming and more than helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Best steak house in the country by far!

I had my wedding at the elephant recently and it turned out to be an amazing day after nearly two years of planning. The staff, decorations, the Herd and the quirky rooms made it a special day which I won’t forget! Special thanks to Chris and Starr – fantastic service and made everything run smoothly for the whole wedding day!!

Karl

We just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you for helping us host the best day of our lives. Our friends kept telling us it was the best wedding they've ever been to and our families are still talking about it!

Jen

The Elephant was just the perfect venue to hold the relaxed and fun (but still classy and beautiful!) wedding we wanted. The day was everything we hoped for and so much more.
