My sister's wedding and have to say that the place is amazing. Staff were lovely and the food was stunning. The rooms are really comfortable, though if you want a coffee you'll need to look in the wardrobe for the kettle et al. Briefly saw the wedding suite and Wow, that is something really special. A brilliant place, highly recommended.

Stunning venue. Was here for a wedding and it was beautiful. The grounds are so pretty and we were lucky enough to see one of the peacocks. The food was delicious and there was plenty of space to hold guests during quieter parts of the day.

Food is first class. Nothing too much trouble. Would like to return, my wife had trouble getting upstairs to use the ladies room, and coming down. Is there any possibility of building some kind of toilets downstairs for the handicap. Would love to have Christmas lunch again there next year and bring the family.

Lovely peaceful place to relax. Staff are lovely. Alcohol is expensive which you can expect really. Food is second to none. We've been going for the last 6yrs. We love it there.
