OATLANDS PARK HOTEL, KT13 9HB 01932 847 242 | www.oatlandsparkhotel.com King Henry VIII married Catherine Howard in 1504 at the grand Oatlands Park Hotel, which was originally the site of a grand Tudor palace. Situated within 10 acres of parkland, the magnificent grounds were commissioned by Henry VIII in 1538. Over the centuries, the house and grounds have been rebuilt and remodelled by a string of wealthy tenants. Oatlands Park Hotel opened as a hotel in 1856, known then as The South Western Hotel, it played host to several world-famous guests, including writer Emile Zola, novelist Anthony Trollope and artist and poet Edward Lear. The current owners bought the property in 1986 and have lovingly restored and refurbished it, retaining the character of the listed buildings and grounds. Overlooking the Broadwater lake and with far-reaching views over the Surrey countryside, the venue offers plenty of gorgeous photo opportunities and the gardens are an ideal space to entertain wedding guests in the summer.
