Rowhill Grange Hotel & Utopia Spa

Rowhill Grange is a country house hotel and spa in Wilmington, near Dartford in Kent. Its dedicated wedding barn, the Clockhouse, sits in landscaped gardens and is run as an exclusive celebration venue.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Rowhill Grange is a strong fit for couples who want a blank canvas. The Clockhouse has a neutral, barn-style interior, so you can style it your own way. Packages bring the ceremony, food, drinks and rooms under one team, which keeps planning simple. The estate is also set up for a full wedding weekend, with a getting-ready suite and a honeymoon suite.

Ceremonies

The hotel presents the Clockhouse as a dedicated wedding venue, so your booking is not shared with other events in the barn.

You can marry in the Clockhouse, in the Cottage Suite or in the Gazebo at the bottom of the gardens. The Gazebo is used for outdoor vows in the warmer months. The venue lists up to 120 guests for each of these spaces.

Receptions and food

The Clockhouse is the largest indoor room and is light and airy. The Cottage Suite can seat up to 40 for a wedding breakfast. Food ranges from a three-course sit-down meal to canapes or a barbecue on the sunny terrace, cooked by the hotel chef team. In summer you can serve cocktails and canapes in the grounds.

Staying

As a hotel, Rowhill Grange has bedrooms and suites for you and your guests, and a discount on bed and breakfast rates is offered to wedding guests. There is a bridal getting-ready suite with a make-up and blow-dry bar. Utopia Spa is on site.
