The venue was just perfect!

All our guests were extremely complimentary and impressed with the venue itself, all the staff and of course the amazing food! Please do pass our thanks on to the kitchen team. The venue was just perfect as we knew it would be, and everything ran so well - we’ll truly miss our more regular visits, perhaps we‘ll have to get booked in for our anniversary!

We were told over...

We were told over and over 'best wedding ever' as guests departed - and you can't have a better recommendation than that! The guests were bowled over by the venue and then constantly surprised by the friendly, efficient and attentive staff - who genuinely cared that they enjoyed the day. No request was too much trouble. A wonderful day in a wonderful setting - first class all round! Oh and I nearly forgot to mention the food and service - wow! Exceptional in every way!

Rhiannon the events manager was absolutely superb from start to finish. Her communication was fantastic and she was really accommodating. The bar and waiting staff were also amazing and had a nothing was too much trouble attitude." The food was fantastic and as myself and 3 other guests has very specific dietary requirements they were still able to make us the most delishous meal. The bedrooms are stunning and most of my guests commented that it is the nicest venue they have ever been to."

Rhiannon...

Rhiannon and the team were very accommodating to our wants and needs for our big day and we were not disappointed. Everything ran like clockwork! The decor was simple but stunning and each room had a different atmosphere (the same can be said for the bedrooms). The long table set-up in the Long Hall made it feel very special and a talking point.

Loved every moment of our day...

Loved every moment of our day! Simply stunning venue with beautiful setting of York Minster as a backdrop and had the wow factor to all our guests. The rooms have so much character and the gardens are lovely (and rare to find in a city centre location). The food for the whole weekend of our wedding was of great quality, and the staff were professional & helpful to our specific requests. Only minus was only 1 not 2 welcome drinks were served for drinks reception, however a refund was provided.
