My daughters wedding in Sept was just brilliant. We had exclusive use of the hotel for the weekend. The food was fantastic. The staff were very attentive. The rooms were very spacious some more than others. So close to the city yet far enough away to feel you were on a weekend break out in the country. The grounds are... More

Do not want to go into all the details would take to long, but just want to say, my daughters wedding was held here, we had a great day, but the run up to the wedding was a nightmare (heating only arrived in the pavilion 5 minutes before we were due to sit down for our meal). Its such a... More

When I opened my cousin's wedding invitation offering to stay in this hotel over the weekend of the wedding we pondered about the cost but decided to treat ourselves so went ahead and booked a room from the Friday to the Sunday. They prided themselves as an Exclusive Use hotel even mentioning over dinner on Friday but I cant say... More
