We hired the Elephant as exclusive use for our wedding at the end of June and we are so glad we did. Our wedding was perfect! The weather was boiling and so the air con in the cermony room was much needed. The garden looked lovely and waa well used by our guests. Food was lovely. Claire and Steven were great and communication was brilliant throughout. The Elephant gave us the wedding we wanted! Thank you

We had a wonderful time using The Elephant for our wedding. Claire and the team were all so helpful in the lead up to and on the day of the wedding. Nothing seemed to much for any of them. Any time we had any questions they were promptly answered. The ceremony and reception room looked gorgeous as did the garden for all the photos. The rooms are all to a very good quality; comfy, clean and spacious, all our guests said the same. We look forward to returning in the future 😊

I am working in the area and I have discovered the elephant. This is slowly becoming a home from home. The staff are friendly and welcoming going out of their way to ensure a pleasant and peaceful stay The rooms are spacious and the beds comfy with brilliant bathroom facilities The bar is well stocked with a great selection of beers and snacks The restaurant is OUTSTANDING! the chicken wings are a staple of every visit but it excels itself on the steak menu. Big shout out to Layla (I hope I’ve spelt this right) who never fails to great me with a smile 11/10 fantastic
