We were made to feel so special and welcome. The staff and service were second to none and nothing was too much trouble. Then, what can I say about the meal! We had heard how good it was, but it was even better than all our expectations. Our guests are still taking about it now! I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to stay at the Powfoot or to have their wedding celebration there. I would love to do it all again! -Diane M.Could not have hoped or wished for a better day, everything was perfect! We were made to feel so special and welcome.
