My daughter's wedding preliminaries, reception and after party were held there. Staff were superb. Bits and pieces were out order but nothing major. Couldn't wish for better hosting. The hotel manager even stepped and gave us a lift when the car to the church broke down. We were late but is that not the way it should be. I've stayed in many hotels but I think this was the best staff I've met.

Attended a wedding. Great location. The venue is lovely, but the rooms - not so much. Adequate for nights stay. Breakfast products ran out, and replacing them was slow and, in some cases, didn't get some of the produce. A bit poor for breakfast time. Lovely area for the wedding breakfast and evening reception. It didn't spoil anything at all.

Really really bad! So many negatives, too many to list. Attended a wedding here, our room we booked 5 months previously was given away. So long story short had to drive 3hours home after the event with my wife and 3 kids. Not the worst thing, but the management's attempt to rectify the situation was horrendous, the attitude was shocking essentially shouted at us for being upset about the situation. Wanted to charge us £99 for a double room and an additional £22 for each child to sleep on the floor. Also witnessed food being dropped on the floor and promptly being returned onto the buffet by not one but two of the waiting team. The food that was not off the floor was OK. Poorly organised venue and extremely cramped conditions, can't comment on the rooms, as never got the chance to stay. Greedy, rude buisness that definitely need to have look at what makes good hospitality.
