Taxis and B&B's
Posted on 8th May 2012
I am often asked about Taxi services in the area and local accommodation. With regard to Taxis, I would recommend that your guests use Ron Ingledew, a licensed taxi driver, who is reliable and cheaper than other taxi drivers in the area. Ron is able to arrange to come to the Hall and collect guests and ferry them to and from their accommodation both on a Friday and Saturday night or mid week if required. If you would like to use Ron's Taxi service then please ring him in advance on 07711400152 to book him.
In relation to accommodation, there are at least a 100 letting rooms in Otterburn itself and probably another 50 in a three mile radius of the Hall. Most of the accomodation providers are listed on www.wildredesdale.co.uk . One gem of a four star B&B that isnt on the above website as yet is the Holly Bush at Greenhaugh run by Mary Parker. Her details are 01434 240391 www.hollybushinn.net .
Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Since my last news up date, Woodhill Hall is in full swing with weddings. The comments and feedback we have had from couples has been extremely positive which has thrilled everyone who works with me at Woodhill Hall. We strive to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that guests leave with happy memories of Woodhill Hall. Many of you know that from 2013 we are taking catering in house with Athena's kitchen and are working with couples and their budgets to provide good quality food at affordable prices. The feedback from the weddings where we have been doing the catering has been fabulous. Some of our up coming weddings where we are doing the catering including a bbq, three course wedding breakfast and Vintage Tea party. I met on Friday a lovely lady called Lynsey from the Whistling Bunting Company www.thewhistlingbunting.co.uk . I plan to hire a few cake stands from her for the forthcoming Vintage Tea party. Lynsey also has lots of unusual vintage props that are available to hire to add some quirkiness to your wedding festivities so if you have a chance please check out her wesbite.
The start of a busy wedding Season!!
Posted on 21st March 2012
I have just come back from the States having managed to squeeze in a lovely holiday for 2 weeks with my husband, Chris, before the start next weekend of a packed year of weddings. I am very excited about the weddings that we are hosting this year. The couples that have booked Woodhill Hall are all delightfully and the weddings are varied as a result of the flexibility that we are offering at the Hall. This year we are running the bars in house and have changed slightly our format for drinks to offer flat corkage fees which couples have found a very attractive option. I am also pleased to announce that Paul Murray has joined our team and will be working along side myself and Virginia Noble, my Event's Manager, to ensure that all weddings run smoothly. Paul as well as having substantial experience in the hospitality industry also provides maintance expertise and for the past several months has been helping me re decorate the Hall. We are now just putting the final touches to the decoration at the Hall ready for next weekend.

The Builders have started work!!
Posted on 12th November 2011
Since last updating the news page, we have had several more weddings. Our last event of the year was a 40th birthday celebration! On the 8th November, the builders commenced work on knocking through from the bar area to the dining room which is going to create additional space for dining and or another licensed ceremony room. The builders have dismantled the bar ready for it to be put in the new extension they are building at the rear of the Hall. Currently the Hall looks like a building site but as the saying goes you need to crack a few eggs to make an omelette!! I am very excited about the remodelling and the redecoration and am looking forward to seeing everyone's reaction when the Hall re opens on our viewing day! You can follow the progress of what is happening on the renovations on Woodhill Hall's facebook page!!
New clients who would like to come and view the Hall, please telephone Corrinne to arrange a viewing. Please note that for the next couple of weeks the Hall is going to look like a building site in parts!!
