Julie is a credit to the hotel.

My husband to be and I came to dinner with his parents. The food and service were phenomenal. Julie is so attentive and couldn't do enough for us. She is absolutely fabulous at her role. It's clear to see she really cares about her guests and customers. ..... We can't wait to have our wedding Reception there! Even down to the lovely ladies on reception, so helpful and welcoming. Isobella was wonderful too , so attentive and funny. Sheldon has been absolutely amazing in the organising...

plenty of space for 11 girls to get wedding ready

I stayed in the bridal suite - the room is very big and the bathroom is massive! There was plenty of space for 11 girls to get wedding ready. We booked the 4 rooms around the bridal suite so felt we had an entire wing to ourselves! It felt very private. We had breakfast delivered to the room - plenty of fruit, toast and pastries, as well as hot food to order. The staff were very kind and accommodating. Once we were ready there was plenty of natural light for photographs.

a lovely venue for a wedding.

My brother and his wife held their wedding at The Diplomat Hotel Restaurant & Spa on Friday 5th August. It is such a lovely venue for a wedding, the food was delicious, our bedroom was a very nice size and very clean. One of the most stand out things though was the staff. They were all so friendly and helpful, it is something that can be lacking at some hotels, which is very sad. I would like to give special mention to Tia, who first looked after us at breakfast on the morning of the wedding.
