We went for a wedding as Evening guests the house was lovely and the food which included a BBQ was nice. The only draw back was it was hotter than the sun in the room we were dancing in I thought I was going to pass out! They need to invest in air con!!

Stayed overnight for a wedding, it is beautiful, gorgeous venue to stay at. Very friendly staff, couldn't do enough for you. Provided excellent meals, and the most amazing service. Rooms were clean and spacious, very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone who wants to celebrate any special moment in their lives. Felt so very welcome, and as if staying with very good friends/family.

My daughter had her wedding at this wonderful venue which was not only a beautiful setting for a wedding but the staff made the day absolutely fantastic by organising everything perfectly without anyone even spotting it. Thanks not only to Olivia and Katie but the whole staff for their friendly helpful and professional attitude. The food was delicious and the lemon posset was outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone
