Wotton House perfectly blends history and harmony Wotton House is a countryside hotel in the heart of the Surrey Hills. Steeped in heritage and 13 acres of Grade II listed gardens and natural beauty, this 16th-century country hotel is laced with natural beauty, close to the Silent Pool gin distillery and Denbies vineyard. The historic town of Dorking is only moments away for those looking to explore, go antiquehunting or have a pint in a traditional countryside pub. Steeped in history, Wotton House was once home to John Evelyn, the 17th-century botanist who designed England’s first Italian gardens. Inspired by his travels, he created a landscape of temples, fountains and winding paths. Wotton House is a place where history, nature and romance come together, creating a setting that feels effortlessly special. A place where pillared halls, grand fireplaces and hidden gardens offer an unforgettable backdrop to celebrate the start of a new chapter. Whether exchanging vows beneath the vaulted ceilings of the Old Library or standing under one of the Italian garden temples, couples will find themselves surrounded by beauty, history and a touch of the unexpected – because here, every wedding is ‘wonderfully Wotton’. The Grade II listed Italian gardens are fully licensed for civil ceremonies, underneath one of two majestic temples, for celebrations for up to 140 guests. The 18th-century Walled Garden is the perfect, intimate backdrop; once upon a time it was used as a tortoise house, with the beautiful rectangular pool still a key feature of this space. Saying ‘I do’ between four historic walls will be an unforgettable memory. Grand vaulted ceilings, pillars and centuries-old original marble fireplaces set a romantic tone for an indoor ceremony in The Old Library. This is a truly wonderful, showstopping setting for your wedding breakfast, with natural daylight pouring in through the stone Gothic windows and Ancient Greek phrases written on the walls bringing history to life. Post-vows, wedding breakfasts and receptions also take place in the Evelyn Suite. The suite offers contemporary elegance with botanical artwork, wood panelling, and an abundance of natural light. The space has four double doors leading out onto the sweeping Italian Gardens, and the room’s artwork is inspired by the local area and John Evelyn’s botanical prints. The room’s neutral palette effortlessly aligns to your chosen colour scheme and décor. Whether you are imagining a room full of candlelight, an abundance of flowers or a unique and unusual twist, this space provides you with endless possibilities. Whether it’s a serene moment by the River Tillingbourne or a romantic kiss under the vaulted ceilings, Wotton House enhances your celebration and leaves a lasting impression on guests. These extraordinary features make every wedding as magical as the venue itself, and when tying the knot here, couples benefit from accommodation for the wedding couple and a free anniversary stay.
