Most memorable occasion JUNE, 2024

“We wanted to say thank you to all of you for making our wedding day on Friday such a memorable occasion. I think anyone’s wedding would be memorable but I don’t expect everyone receives so many glowing compliments from their guests on how it is the best wedding venue they have attended. The food has had no end of plaudits, thank you.So much work goes on behind the scenes – thank you all for your help in the build-up and delivering in spades on the day.…we had lots of compliments on how friendly and helpful the reception team were every time someone phoned to book a room or ask a question. The grounds are looking great and also had lots of positive remarks.”
