- CChloe and Andrew30/11/2022We had an absolutely amazing day!We had an absolutely amazing day!The day was brilliant, everything went to plan and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. All of our guests also mentioned how friendly everyone was, we wanted to say a special thank you to Gary as he was so amazing the day before and the wedding day, again our guests also loved him and he made everything a top priority and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He was also a good laugh! Also David was brilliant at helping us plan and organise the day and again like Gary nothing was too much trouble! We wouldn’t have had such a good day without David helping it flow! They have both been brilliant and would definitely recommend anyone to use the holiday inn because of them both. Also the food was delicious, hot and served nicely to our guests who all enjoyed it. Thank you also goes to everyone else, who helped our day be as brilliant as it was.
