This Wedding venue was beyond all expectations, the building was classical elegant and demure. Perfect place for a small wedding (50) and set in a stunning location. The staff could not do enough to please and the colleagues that arranged the room thought of all the minutiae to make for a small and intimate occasion. In short all went smoothly and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for making our special couples day.

We got married here in September and had a fantastic experience. Alice was so helpful and kind throughout, and the council were really flexible in response to the changing restrictions. The venue is beautiful and well maintained. The caretakers couldn't have done more and overall great value for money. Our guests loved having drinks and canapes on the patio and we got some lovely photos. Would highly recommend.
