Berwick Lodge Hotel

Set in 18 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland, and right on the doorstep of Bristol itself, this privately owned and independently managed boutique wedding venue and hotel is a hidden secret just waiting to be discovered. Situated in a serene parcel of woodland a few miles to the northwest of Bristol, just minutes from the M5 and M49.

Offering glistening fountains in the Summer, warming open fires in Winter, and beautiful rooms with stunning features of the original 1890's Victorian house all year round. If you're looking to hold an unforgettable wedding, with attentive staff, in a charming and characterful venue - then this is it!

History

Berwick Lodge was built towards the end of the reign of Queen Victoria, circa 1890, and well and truly reflects the opulent architectural fashion of the time. Presenting an impressive red-brick Gothic facade, the post-industrial-era edifice appears absolutely stunning nestled in the heart of the serene Berwick Wood.

Today the property is owned and run by Sarah Arikan who, along with husband Fevzi, purchased the then dilapidated building back in 2004. They subsequently invested in a labour of love and worked tirelessly for five years in bringing Berwick Lodge back to its former glory.

Facilities

Perfect for intimate micro weddings and elopements (non-exclusive), or more lavish exclusive use celebrations.

The Lodge is licensed to host civil marriage and partnership ceremonies, thus you can choose to formalise your wedding and then go straight on to enjoy your reception afterwards - or you could marry elsewhere and just stage your later celebrations here.

Berwick Lodge is able to cater for up to 100 guests for a ceremony and wedding breakfast and up to 150 for an evening reception.

Alternatively, the gardens for a marquee, which can increase meal capacity to 150 and evening capacity up to 250 guests.


Accommodation

Berwick Lodge has a selection of fourteen luxurious on-suite bedrooms - eight of which are to be taken as part of the exclusive use wedding packages. The design and furnishing of all the rooms (along with other parts of the hotel), was carried out with Anatolian influences strongly in mind - containing stunning luxury features such as marbled tile floors, claw-foot baths, and huge Victorian brass beds.

The fascinating Troya room is an unforgettable space - featuring an elevated king-sized bed crafted from an old church pulpit, approached via a small set of stairs on either side - it is quite magnificent! Other luxurious suite's ideal for your wedding night are the beautiful Lydia and Phrygia rooms.

Catering

Owner Sarah Arikan lovingly restored this wonderful Lodge with the sole purpose of introducing a perfect hotel and restaurant experience to the local area - this took form as the two rosette 'Hattusa' restaurant. As such, food is at the core of Berwick Lodge and something the in-house team are very passionate about. The delicious food, is served from specially created wedding menus, using seasonal and local ingredients as much as possible.

Unrivalled support

Experienced wedding coordinator Georgia, with help from the owner Sarah, is on hand from the very start of the wedding planning journey to ensure plans and dreams comes to life and each couple's personality shines through.

On the day itself, Rhianna effortlessly calm's nerves and ensure the day runs smoothly, with the help from the restaurant manager and waitering team whose service is second to none.

When you choose Berwick Lodge, you aren't just booking a venue, you're choosing a personal service and complete support package for total peace of mind - nothing is too much trouble!

Reviews

  • Carly and Adam – August 2023

    I just wanted to drop you an email to say the biggest thank you to everyone at Berwick for making our wedding day the most perfect and gorgeous day!! Georgia you kept me so calm in the lead up to the day, nothing was ever a big deal and you always dealt with my never ending questions so well! Thank you! Rhianna your organisation on the day was amazing! I will be forever grateful for how much you ran around and just sorted everything out!! Berwick was the most gorgeous venue for our big day ¤ï¸ all of our guests had the best time! All credit to your hotel and staff!

  • Chloe and Tom – August 2023

    Tom and I just wanted to take the time to say a huge, massive, ultimate Thank You. We had the most perfect day, and the weddings team and your tireless work were the reason behind everything going exactly as we wanted. We genuinely cannot believe how smoothly the day went, how kind every member of staff was and how no request was too much. There is not a single thing about the day we would have changed, not even the rain! If you could also please pass our thanks onto all the housekeeping, reception, waiting, bar and kitchen staff too. From the moment the day started for us with a cup of tea in our room, to when we finally collapsed at 1am, we felt so taken care of, so thank you. All our guests have said the same, that Berwick and all the staff were just absolutely wonderful, and we can't agree more.

  • Chris and James – July 2023

    We had a fantastic day despite the weather, everything really went perfectly. After so much planning it was so nice to see it all come together. Many of the guests were very impressed with Berwick and highly complementary of the staff throughout the day, including yourself, Rhianna and the restaurant team. Many also commented it was the best wedding food they'd ever had and there were certainly no complaints!
    I cannot thank you enough for your help over the last year, at several points I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning but you remained very calm and methodical and ensured everything worked out perfectly 😅 Also thank you to Rhianna, she was very helpful on the day and she was the one who originally showed us around last summer. When Rhianna showed us around last summer we got a real impression that Berwick had a personal feel and a team who were genuinely invested in helping the wedding come together - I'm so pleased to see this first impression was correct!

  • Sophie and Tom – July 2023

    Tom and I just wanted to email to say the biggest thank you. Rhianna and the team were absolutely incredible on the day and it ran so smoothly. Big shout out to Rhianna - she was awesome!! Our wedding completely exceeded expectation and was more than we ever could have wished for! Honestly - we cannot thank you and everyone at Berwick Lodge enough for making our dreams come true.

  • Catherine and Tim – July 2023

    I just want to say an ENORMOUS thank you to you and to the whole Berwick Lodge team for making the day go so swimmingly. I know it chucked it down with rain but it made for a really lovely atmosphere inside - the DJ was also thrilled it meant more people stayed on the dance floor through to the end! It was all perfect - the decorations, food, atmosphere - the room was AMAZING and we're definitely coming to stay again! It was a proper family feel wedding - in large part thanks to how accommodating you and the whole team have been. I only wish we could do it all again, it went too fast!!

  • Daisy and Daniel – June 2023

    Just a quick email to say a massive thank you from me and Dan to every member of staff who helped make Friday such a special day for us and our family and friends - everything was perfect and the day ran so smoothly thanks to your amazing team 💖 words cannot express how grateful we are!!

  • Richard and Andrew – June 2023

    We wanted an intimate exclusive wedding venue that was LGBTQ+ friendly and Berwick Lodge delivered our perfect wedding day. From confirming a wedding date to finalising table seating plans, the weddings team at Berwick Lodge made the process feel seamless and easy. Berwick Lodge is unique for its welcoming nature and friendly environment. One does feel like part of the Berwick Lodge family when there. Sarah, the owner is always on hand to greet guests with a friendly smile. When an unexpected doggy drama occurred just before our ceremony, Georgia and Rhianna (from the weddings team) were on hand to control the situation and helped to rearrange things so that the wedding proceeded without a hitch. They anticipated our needs well before we needed to ask awkward questions. Nothing was too much trouble. Needless to say, we had an amazing wedding weekend at Berwick Lodge and can't wait to return soon.

  • Andrea and Stephen – May 2023

    Not sure where to start. What a perfect venue in every way. The whole experience from the first e-mail contact to the day of our wedding was perfect. We were looking for the perfect wedding venue for our elopement wedding. We had a meeting with Magdalena when she showed us around the place the ceremony room and the bridal suits. Magdalena's response to e-mails was exceptional, very helpful and quick. Before we booked, we had a final visit when we decided the place was so beautiful it was too nice not to share it with our family and close friends, so we decided to increase our wedding party to 35. Magdalena made the whole process so easy and took all the stress off our shoulder even when we threw a few curved ball, she was very accommodating. She set up everything exactly how we wanted. The day itself was perfect, we could not have wish for a better day. Magdalena is an exceptional wedding planner with a brilliant team. All the staff where very friendly, everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day we could remember. The venue inside and outside including its garden is gorgeous, we had so many beautiful pictures. The food was exceptional with a first-class service. I would 100% recommend Berwick Lodge to anyone who is still looking for their perfect venue.

  • Megan and Ryan – April 2023

    My husband and I eloped here from Chicago, just the two of us. A large wedding was never really our style, so the Berwick's intimate elopement package was perfect for us. We worked with Magdalena, who was a joy to work with throughout the entire process! The package is pretty straight forward but whenever we had questions, Magdalena responded very quickly, given the time difference. She was also able to provide recommended vendors for me, since I wasn't familiar with the area! I felt like I was able to sit back, relax, and let all of the planning come into fruition. When we finally arrived at the Berwick, we were immediately greeted by the most lovely staff; From reception to the bar staff, housekeeping, or the restaurant servers, everyone was extremely accommodating and made our experience incomparable! I highly recommend the Berwick to future brides and anyone else who fancies a kind staff and beautiful atmosphere! :)

  • Georgia and Jamie – April 2023

    We couldn't of asked for a more perfect venue for our magical day. I don't even know where to start. As the title of the review says, the venue couldn't have been anymore perfect. The whole experience from the very beginning to the day itself was perfect. We met Rhianna months ago when we were given a tour of the lodge and all the rooms and suites, she provided us with all the information we needed and a comprehensive breakdown and gave us a pretty accurate idea of costs based on how we wanted our day to be, this definitely cinched the decision for us to use Berwick Lodge. Everything that followed was fabulous, Magdalena introduced herself when we decided to book at Berwick Lodge and was our main point of contact. She made the process so easy and seem a lot less daunting, she always just a phone call away or an email away and was so quick to get back in touch with us. She was brilliant with every aspect of planning for the day. Even when a few curveballs were thrown like some guests not being able to make it and finding new guests to come who had specific requirements who then had to pull out a day before and on the day of the wedding due to Covid, nothing phased her and she was so accommodating. The day itself was magical and just perfect, Magdalena took the stress out of literally everything and all the staff were so friendly and lovely and happy to chat away with us. Everyone really went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day of our lives! The venue and surroundings were gorgeous, the bridal suite was lavish and exquisite and the food served at the wedding breakfast was to delicious and the presentation of the dishes was immaculate. I would 100% gladly recommend Berwick Lodge to anyone who was thinking of getting married there or was still looking for that perfect venue.
