Wedding Venue
We had our wedding here this week and it was arranged excellently and exactly how we wanted it. The staff were wonderful and made sure we and our guests were well looked after. We stayed for two nights afterwards the room was just as we would expect it to be very comfortable and ideal for what we wanted
