Lovely inside with a professional disco lighting setup, which really made a wedding reception I attended. The room was clean and spacious, and I was really impressed .

The man behind the bar was unhelpful, rude, obviously didn't want to be there. It has been a nightmare to arrange as they changed the night after double booking, no help with helping decorating the room, they gave us 1 hour 45 minutes before the reception. Although it went well and facilities good I would not return. Need to cheer up or get another job.
