The place was so lovely and the staff were so frie

Me and my husband had our wedding venue here, the place was so lovely and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The honeymoon suite was amazing and we had a big bath tub with jets which we sat and enjoyed. Food & drinksThe food and drink were very nice. But the breakfast the next day was exceptional continental and cooked breakfast. Me and my husband still go back to the Royal Maritime club for breakfast sometimes.

Booked the Nelson Lounge for my wedding venue. Dana, Debbie and the team were fantastic in all the arrangements for our initimate wedding reception. The room was decorated perfectly, the food was excellent - we couldnt have wished for more. Debbie answered all the questions we had in the run up to the big day. Everyone really helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you once again for making the day memorable
