Just celebrated our daughters wedding here last week. Beautiful venue. All the staff were so helpful especially Jim, the duty manager who made everything run so smoothly and attended to our needs promptly and efficiently. We stayed at the beautiful self catering chalets which were located in the courtyard, one minute walk from the venue. So convenient as we could nip over to the chalet if we needed to freshen up etc. The beds were so comfortable, it was difficult to get everyone up and out next morning. Amazing venue. Needs to be seen to appreciate.
