Rowhill Grange Hotel and Utopia Spa

Tucked away in 15 acres of lush Kentish countryside near Wilmington, Rowhill Grange is a four-star hotel and spa with a rich history stretching back to 1868. Originally built as a summer house, the estate has been lovingly shaped over generations into one of Kent's most cherished retreats — and its dedicated wedding venue, The Clockhouse, continues that legacy with warmth, character and a setting that feels genuinely special.

The Clockhouse offers exclusive use for your entire celebration, accommodating up to 120 seated guests with a private bar, terrace and courtyard, and up to 200 for the evening. When the sun shines, the grounds come into their own: a stone-lined walkway leads to the seasonal Wedding Gazebo, and the sweeping lawns and mature gardens provide a backdrop that needs no embellishment. With an experienced wedding team, bespoke packages and the award-winning Utopia Spa just steps away, Rowhill Grange makes it easy to simply enjoy every moment of your day.

About

Rowhill Grange & The Clockhouse

Rowhill Grange's story began in 1868 when Alice Alexander's family built a summer house on this beautiful plot of Kentish countryside. The estate passed through the hands of Sir George Cole, Lord Mayor of London, before being transformed by subsequent owners into the country house hotel it is today — one that has retained every bit of its Victorian charm alongside modern comforts.

Set within 15 acres of woodlands, gardens and a picturesque lake, the hotel is home to The Clockhouse: a light-filled, neutral barn-style venue available on an exclusive-use basis for weddings. Traditional wooden beams, a private terrace and a courtyard make it a beautiful and versatile canvas for your personal vision.

The Clockhouse's eight boutique bedrooms — including a stunning duplex bridal suite — mean that you and your closest guests can wake up the morning after surrounded by the same loveliness that framed your vows. Additional accommodation is available in the main house of Rowhill Grange.

Part of the Alexander Hotels collection, Rowhill Grange is also home to the award-winning Utopia Spa, a two AA Rosette restaurant and the relaxed Elements Bar & Lounge — everything you need for an indulgent wedding weekend.



Ceremony Spaces & Celebrations

The Clockhouse

The largest space within The Clockhouse is a light and airy barn with traditional wooden beams, a private greeting area, stage setting or dance floor, bar and terrace. Suitable for a wedding breakfast of between 40 and 120 guests, it's a wonderfully adaptable space that works beautifully with almost any style or colour palette — from relaxed and rustic to elegant and refined.

The Cottage Suite & Wedding Gazebo

For the ceremony itself, you have a choice of three lovely settings. The Cottage Suite, located within The Clockhouse, is an intimate room with garden views and direct access to the bridal changing area, suitable for civil ceremonies of up to 120 guests and wedding breakfasts of up to 40. In the warmer months, the seasonal Wedding Gazebo in the grounds offers something truly memorable: reached via a beautifully stoned walkway with views across the lawns, it can be dressed to your own taste and seats up to 120 for a ceremony under open skies.

Wedding Packages

Rowhill Grange offers a range of carefully curated packages — from intimate celebrations for 20 guests through to full exclusive-use days for up to 200 — as well as the option to build something entirely bespoke with the help of the dedicated wedding team. Packages typically include use of the bridal changing suite from the morning of your wedding, ceremony and reception spaces, canapés, a wedding breakfast, evening catering and accommodation for the couple in the honeymoon suite with breakfast the following morning.

  • Mr & Mrs Sewell, April 2019

    We just wanted to pass on our huge thanks for everything you and your team did for us on our wedding day. It was everything we wanted and more, and we cannot have imagined anything better. Thanks for all your help leading up to the wedding, and the quick replies to silly email questions. So many people commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to … something we agree on too!

  • Mr & Mrs Stephen, 2019

    Thank you so much to you and your team who managed to make our day everything we could have wished for. The service and attention to detail was fantastic and we were thoroughly looked after from start to finish.

  • Mr & Mrs Trent, April 2019

    The day was perfect. We would definitely recommend the venue. We wish we could do it all again! The staff were amazing and very attentive. I couldn't fault it. I didn't really have to worry about anything as it was all set up and ready and everything ran so smoothly.

  • Mr & Mrs Game, March 2019

    We had a fantastic time, the whole day went brilliantly. The venue is just beautiful and all of the staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was really good.

  • Sophie & David - April 2017

    We had the most fantastic day and would like to thank you and your team for all the arrangements made. The day went without fault and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The staff at Rowhill were very attentive and organised. Everyone commented on how good the food and service was. We will definitely recommend the venue to anyone planning a wedding or a stay for the spa! Thank you once again for making our day such a special one that we and our guests will always remember.

  • Katie &John - December 2016

    Thank you so much for all your hard work in making Saturday so special for John and I. You have been amazing in the lead up to the day and everything I went through with you was actioned with no hesitation. Nothing was too much trouble for you and you put me at ease through the planning phases. The staff throughout the day were just brilliant, our guests were not wanting for anything and they made sure we kept on track throughout the day and night. Please can you thank everyone on behalf of John and I as the day would not have been the same without them. We really had such an amazing day and it was everything we had hoped for and more.

  • Jo & Terry - October 2016

    Terry and I had an amazing day and we cannot thank you and your team enough for all your hard work in making everything run so seamlessly. The day was planned out so well, all staff were extremely professional and attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. A special note of thanks goes out to Jodie, Georgia, Samantha and Danny (I hope I remembered his name correctly, apologies if not!) who were absolutely fantastic, DJ Dan who was spot on with the music, and Harry, together with the gentleman who was in charge the latter part of the evening (sorry, I do not recall his name), kept the drinks flowing and ensured everyone was happy.
