Bury Lodge in Uttlesford

A beautiful character hotel and wedding/event venue..pleasant and efficient staff, large car park.

We stayed here for a family wedding in September. The venue is incredibly beautiful inside, while outside it is very basic but has the necessary. My two recommendation for the owners would be to invest in the outdoor garden space: chairs/outdoor furniture, as it was tiring standing and only having old picnic tables that I didn't want to sit on with my satin dress and to invest in some decent mattresses as I have never slept on such an uncomfortable mattress in my life! The other downside (but could be an upside if your plane-obsessed) is that it's so close to Stansted that you have the contstant noise of planes throughout the day.

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending an event at this venue for a birthday celebration. It's easily accessible with ample parking and a spacious interior. The venue hosts various special occasions such as weddings and corporate meetings. It's highly functional, clean, and boasts friendly staff. My only gripe is the £10 minimum card payment requirement, which seems a bit excessive, especially when already spending £1000 on renting a venue. It would be more convenient if there were no minimum, considering the significant event expenses. The average monthly fee for a payment terminal in the UK can range from £20 to £50, depending on the service provider. Transaction fees typically fall within the range of 1-3% of the transaction value but may vary based on the card type (credit or debit) and other factors. So is not that expensive.... 😡

Fantastic hotel and venue, great staff

Such a lovely place. The staff were so helpful nothing too much trouble room was beautiful.

We recently got married at Bury Lodge, and what can I say, it was amazing!! From the first time we visited to the day of our wedding, everything was so easy. Teresa is absolutely amazing at her job. She has so much experience, the day just flowed. We had the most magical day, and that is all down to Teresa and her staff. We stayed in the honeymoon suite, which is absolutely beautiful. Our guests booked rooms for the night also, and all commented on how lovely they were. I would highly recommend Bury Lodge for your event or as a hotel. Teresa could not of been any more accommodating. Thank you from the new Mr & Mrs Verguson xx

Around 40 of us attended a function in the converted barn adjacent to the hotel. It was a cold night but the room and welcome from the staff were both warm. The 3-course meals had been ordered in advance and were surprisingly good. The staff were efficient and attentive, all of which made for a pleasant evening.

Having not been here for 10 years last night was the third event in this beautiful venue this year. This one however was an event I organised on behalf of my local 41 Club to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Everything was fabulous. The layout, the location, the special lighting all led to a great event. The food was excellent and special mention for the profiteroles. What makes it work so well? Undoubtedly the wonderful Theresa. She has been with us throughout all the planning taking in our needs but adding some ideas herself. She was a major presence on the night making sure everything went smoothly. Thank you Theresa and all your staff for helping us to have an evening to remember.

We had our Christmas party here and were quite happy. Good service and atmosphere. The food was also to a good standard. Toilets need a refresh but apart from that a great evening for all who came

I went to a wedding here in June of my sister and again to my friends wedding in September. Who both booths this lovely looking venue but the food at both weddings was small, cold, and not tasty. Staff varied from good to poor. At my friends wedding the DJ was fab, and my sisters was a different guy I think was ok tho. I always look at anywhere I eat on if the floors clean then elsewhere most likely will be. Well the floor was not what I'd say clean at the start of my sisters wedding. And my nephew who was 9 months wanted to explore on his hands knees that's when I realised about lack of cleanliness. Evening at my friends wedding she left early as they was going off early to Menorca and once she left it seemed like only thing they was interested in was the bar and selling drinks. My guy asked me to marry him last week and we stared to look at venues. When he said how about bury lodge I said no way was I having my wedding reception in that place. Debs

I run a specialist catering company, called the Aussie BBQ Co Ltd, and we had the pleasure of working at Bury Lodge with Teresa. What an efficient and friendly team, it made our time there run like a dream. Thanks Teresa, hope to see you again soon.

This facility provides a perfect venue for event lunchs. I am a member of The Stansted Lunch Club which dines here on a binmonthly basis and the food is always very good

We were an evening guest at a recent wedding held at Bury Lodge. A beautiful building. The evening buffet was produced. Can you imagine everyones disappointment when it turned out to be a few plates of COLD rostis, and a meagre flan or two? Ok, the bride & groom were too wrapped up in their evening to check but all the evening guests were appalled at the meagre food. Worst I've ever encountered at an evening do. I urge all prospective brides & grooms to thoroughly check what is on offer at an evening buffet because, although you think the whole thing went well, you will have a lot of disenchanted guests if they have to partake of the fare we were offered! You would not want your wedding remembered for the wrong reasons would you?
