The Manor Hotel overlooks the village green at Datchet and offers all the right ingredients to ensure your wedding day is truly perfect for you, your partner and guests.

The hotel is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies, making it the perfect venue if you are looking for an alternative to a register office or church. Six of the rooms at the hotel are licensed for receptions of every size from 50 guests to 250.

The hotel was first licensed in 1753. Recently it has undergone extensive restoration to turn it into a four star boutique hotel. The interiors are contemporary and have a real sense of style retaining their original English elegance.
