Good place for a conference/training events. Plenty of space, plenty of break out spaces. Very clean and well maintained and the catering is excellent. Lovely views over the racecourse which makes it a pleasant place to have to work.

staff could not do enough to make our day special.

There must have been about 300 people in the room which was set out beautifully. We had a three course meal at lunch time and a light tea later. The food was excellent and the waiter's could not do enough to make our day as enjoyable as possible

excellent

Excellent course with a nice cafe, food and drink area as well as a nice array of stalls and a great viewing area of the course. The paddock area is in close approximation to all of these areas which means everything is easy to get to. Also, the restaurant area is excellent with a nice overview of the race course. And the food in the restaurant is excellent, too!
