First class venue which hosted my daughter's wedding on Saturday 9th October. This venue was super versatile in terms of wedding service followed by afternoon reception culminating with the evening entertainment in a spacious well ventilated environment. Special mention to staff for serving up an excellent afternoon tea of exceptional quality. Well done Esk Mills for making my daughter's wedding a very special/ enjoyable day.

Beautiful venue, nicely decorated inside and out. All on one level so good for wheelchairs etc. Plenty staff to keep queues down at the bar and to clear glasses / plates from tables.
Toilets were also clean.
