- CChris and Denise04/11/2025Our Wonderful WeddingOur Wonderful WeddingFrom the initial enquiries to the final breakfast it was fantastic. The staff were extremely professional and made the whole thing feel very personal. The only thing, which was a shame, was our wine allowance per head was not laid out on the tables. The glasses were not topped up on the tables, meaning it did not flow and we took lots home. Apart from that the whole thing was amazing. Even the breakfast the next morning felt like an event. The accommodation was lovely. Thank you Denise and ChrisFrom the initial enquiries to the final breakfast it was fantastic.
