Pennyhill Park

Pennyhill Park is a historic country house hotel and spa on a 120-acre estate in Bagshot, Surrey. The ivy-clad house sits in parkland, with a spa on site and a Michelin-starred restaurant, Latymer.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Pennyhill Park is a strong fit for couples who want a full-service hotel wedding with a choice of outdoor and indoor settings. A whole wing, the Terrace Wing, is given over to weddings, so your day has its own space away from other guests. The grounds, spa and bedrooms let you turn the wedding into a weekend for the people closest to you.

Ceremonies

The Pavilion is an outdoor wrought-iron structure with tiered grass seating, and an indoor option is kept ready in case of rain. The Library is a wood-panelled room with stained glass, a fireplace and chandeliers, with views over the grounds. Capacities are not published, so ask the wedding team to match a space to your guest list.

Receptions and food

Parkview is the main reception room, with gold chandeliers, its own bar and a private stone balcony, and it hosts speeches and the wedding breakfast. The Water Lily room suits drinks receptions on colder days, while the Lily Pond Terrace leads up from the Pavilion for drinks outside. You can choose a plated dinner, an evening buffet and a recovery breakfast the next day.

Staying

Five bedrooms in the Terrace Wing are available for the wedding party. The hotel also offers celebration stays, including a romantic suite package and a honeymoon-style stay, and the spa is on site.

Getting there and the area

Pennyhill Park is on the London Road in Bagshot, in west Surrey, close to the M3 and M25. Guildford and Windsor both have plenty for guests to explore. The hotel has open days for couples who want to see the spaces first.
