What an absolutely stunning building and gardens. We provided music for a wedding and this is the first time we've been to this wonderful venue. The staff were friendly and attentive and very welcoming. We'll definitely be back

This is a really charming place to visit. Our entrance into the car park was delayed by a line of ducks walking across the entrance from the really pretty pond. The grounds are very pretty and well maintained and the building has the charm and beauty of a period mansion. We were attending a wedding reception and whilst the rooms we were waiting in were a little crowded for the numbers, it was raining so would probably not be an issue. The meal we had was very nice, especially the dessert. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. Overall a place of great charm, very nice staff and a great
