Full Description
We do not offer packages of any description, everything is bespoke and most importantly friendly and of course professional.
We are technically aware so if you want a socially distanced Celebration where those who cannot physically attend can engage online then we can help.
We want to hear your plans and your story, it's always great to have a chat.
Each month we receive hundreds of requests for packages and brochures from people who have not understood we are not a hotel, we actually offer our home because we enjoy it.
Please do get in touch with a view to having a chat before coming to see us.
Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Paul
In these times of Social Distancing we are able to offer a digital element for those couples seeking an intimate Celebration mindful that some Guests may want to attend "Virtually"
We don't have a "Manager" here, as the owners we will look after you personally. This is our home, if you read the reviews you will see we get it right. In our grounds we can have marquees for up to 350 guests with internal facilities for a wedding breakfast for up to 48 mature guests.

Asian Wedding perfection
Our celebration was exactly as we wanted it.
Our catering was amazing and the drinks reasonably priced. This is not a place where you beat them down on price and do everything in a hurry.
The entire process was enjoyable and relaxed and for 120 guests the total cost was around £150 a head including accommodation, food drink and marquee as well as all support staff and facilities.
We chose the right venue, from the outset the owners became friends and helped us make our budget go further that we had anticipated. Our family and friends have all said it was the best wedding they have been to.

Perfect venue, settings and facilities
Sam and I are slowly coming round from our big day but wow thank you both so much for making it so special.
It really was so amazing I can't thank Saltcote Place enough.
The food was perfect, the views stunning and we had more than we could have hoped for. Would recommend Saltcote Place to anyone.
The additional accommodation within a few minutes walk was also perfect for our guests.

Superlatives are woefully inadequate
“Superlatives are woefully inadequate to describe this beautifully unique venue - We booked Saltcote for our wedding as all the other venues paled into significance against this shining example. The building and grounds are beautifully presented and superbly well maintained, not to mention the stunningly well presented rooms and suite. Perfect to relax and explore Rye at your leisure.”

The perfect venue
“Wedding Perfection" - We held our wedding on 25th October. We agreed, as did all our guests, that the whole celebration simply could not have gone any better. Paul and Alan make this location quintessentially English and, for us, unique. We cannot recommend this beautiful location highly enough. We were able to enjoy every single aspect of our day without any concerns. The accommodation, bedrooms and bathrooms are luxurious and spacious and worked perfectly for our party over the wedding weekend. Nothing was too much trouble. My wife and I would happily recommend Saltcote Place to anyone considering a celebration to remember

Very personal and intimate
A very BIG thank you to both of you for everything you've done. You were both brilliant hosts and we had the best wedding day ever. Words cannot convey how we feel. Everything went as planned and it really was better than we could have imagined it to be. My family extend a very huge thank you - they felt extremely welcome and were really impressed with Saltcote. They felt we chose the perfect venue and your help during the weekend was immeasurable. Our guests were very impressed, as were our photographers. It was a beautiful day and the setting was just beautiful particularly for the play. Best wishes, Ros and James aka Mr and Mrs Hedges!

Perfect in all ways- we had exactly what we wanted
We cannot praise Alan and Paul highly enough for the organisation and input and the most beautiful setting for the wedding yesterday. The contacts they gave us for the catering and fireworks were absolutely amazing and truly gave good service. The breakfast both mornings was superb and could not have been bettered by any hotel or restaurant. Thank you guys once again a wonderful day. Matt and Eva Harris. 19th March 2016”
