Wood Hall Hotel & Spa

Wood Hall Hotel and Spa is a country house hotel at Linton, a short drive from Wetherby. It sits on a hill above the Wharfe Valley in more than 100 acres of gardens and woodland, with the River Wharfe running through the grounds. The hotel hosts civil ceremonies indoors and outside, and has 44 bedrooms for you and your guests.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends Wood Hall to couples who want a country house to themselves. The Exclusively Yours package gives you sole use of the hotel and grounds from midday until the next morning, with a dedicated wedding coordinator and a master of ceremonies. A smaller exclusive-use option is also available, so the venue can work for a modest guest list too.

What they offer

• Outdoor ceremonies on the front steps or in the Italian Gardens, for up to 100 guests
• The Vavasour Suite for ceremonies and wedding meals of up to 100
• The Georgian, a smaller room for up to 60 with valley views
• Evening parties of up to 150 guests
• Seasonal menus built on regional produce
• 44 bedrooms, including ten feature rooms with period details

How they work

Packages cover a drinks reception with canapes, a three-course meal, wine with dinner, a toast and evening food. A wedding coordinator guides you through planning, and dates are usually held for 14 days while you sign the contract. Weddings need a minimum of 50 ceremony guests.

Where they cover

The hotel is on Trip Lane in Linton, just outside Wetherby and close to the A1(M). Harrogate railway station is about 11 miles away. Parking is free for wedding guests.
