We held our wedding reception at Stanmer House last Saturday and it was AMAZING! The venue is absolutely stunning, the staff were incredibly helpful and organised, and the food was delicious (our guests said it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had).We're still on cloud nine.We would definitely recommend it as a wedding venue and thank you again to all the staff that made it happen.

Beautiful surroundings had a lovely walk around the grounds then a winter afternoon tea . Only negative just after Christmas(28th) they were short off staff so we had to wait 50 mins after the time we sat down . This should be addressed for the future. I'll Definately return tho

We visited this place by chance, and the atmosphere was elegant and cozy. The staff was friendly, regularly checking if we needed anything. She even took photos of our happy group. Thanks to her, we had a truly joyful time. Lastly, I'm very grateful for her returning my wallet that I left on a chair.

We sat in the garden as we had the dogs with us. Unfortunately the dog jumped up, knocking over all the drinks on the tray, causing the food to get soaked!! The lovely staff refused payment for 2 replacement drinks and were really helpful. A super clean and beautiful setting.

The Sunday dinner is really good and the fruit crumble is excellent. Nice paced service as well. The drop of a star is not for the building, which is impressive, but I would prefer to be seated a little away from the main flow of people when having dinner.

Had a Sunday roast for my wife’s birthday.We were a large party and were given a room to ourselves. The service was great and the food excellent. We bought a cake with us and the staff were happy to let us use their plates for the cake.Would thoroughly recommend this place for Sunday roast. Thanks everyone.
