Like many others, our "special day" was hindered by the dreaded COVID. Having moved the original date we proceed with our marriage ceremony at the church with the 15 people we could have present. We then planned to have our wedding breakfast and reception at a later date, as a type of anniversary celebration. That magic day on 22nd April 2022, was a pure day of dreams. Involved in the arrangements of all plans, from arranged, to rearranged to this magic day were; Laura and Sam initially and then on to Abbie, Mike and Erin. These amazing people, paved the way in amongst really bizarre times to make our day so very special, not just for us but all of our loved ones. They were attentive, polite, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The organisation and dedication of the staff here is 2nd to none. We cannot thank you all enough for everything. On the day of check out there had been a miscommunication between guests about the location of an item of clothing, it had been wrongly described and people had been looking for something completely different to what the guest had described. Unfortunately the guest had maybe been a little rude to a member of staff, but upon clarification and finding of the item the matter was resolved. It was not nice to hear the member of staff had been really upset by this, the guest apologised and I made sure to call and make sure to express further apologies and hoped they are ok. I wanted to highlighted because that individual team member was new to Hogarths, and they apparently dealt with it very professionally and calmly and I hope this incident did not impact on confidence in the wonderful job role they were in. Once again, all staff are incredible and we cannot thank you enough. The comfort of the rooms and the amazing food was something everyone complimented repeatedly. Everyone was amazed by the sheer beauty of Stone Manor and just how well it has been built so you can take in all the natural beauty surrounding the area. Everyone was so impressed with the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms and everyone was so happy with the quality of the food. Considering we had many varied dietary requirements, it was absolutely spot on and everyone was super happy. We cannot thank you all enough and cannot recommend a more amazing and special venue. We are thankfully booked in for an afternoon tea for the two of us soon, which we have heard is amazing! We cannot wait to go back
