Best Western Plus Grim's Dyke Hotel, The Music Room

We hosted my Dad's 80th birthday party at the Grim's Dyke Hotel on Saturday night for 40 people. It was a fantastic experience. The staff were very helpful, the sit down dinner was delicious and the room and hotel grounds in particular are very grand and impressive. An excellent venue if you want to celebrate a special occasion.

Our family and friends had a most wonderful day at this grand 19th Century Country House. We chose the Music Room, with its feature fireplace and beautiful high ceiling, to celebrate my granddaughter’s birthday. The manager Caroline graciously allowed us to come in the morning to prepare and decorate, and checked on our needs during that time, she was most kind. The afternoon staff did a great job in serving our small guests and adult friends alike, they were very professional and courteous. Special mention goes to Chloe for all her wonderful help and thoughtfulness . We chose one formal long table with Alice in Wonderland theme decor, seating 23 children. Parents sat at another table where tea and light snacks were available. The party was an absolute success, when the guests walked into the Music Room, their jaws dropped in admiration of the magical grandeur. The refreshments and finger foods were supplied by the hotel’s restaurant, the sandwiches and sweets were very fresh and delicious, stylishly arranged on 3 tier silver stands, vegetables and dips on cute little trays and hot chocolate in small delightful ceramic pots. There was plenty of room for our entertainer to keep all kids active and dancing. Restrooms are on the same level as the Music Room, the first floor, accessible by a staircase only, no lift. The hotel is a Grade II listed impressive building and it has quite an interesting history. As this was a cold day in March, we did not use the carefully tended gardens, but we did briefly see a deer.
