Everyone said what a lovely venue it was, and how good the food and helpful the staff. Please thank the chef particularly for the Portuguese tarts, which many people commented on and said how good they were. I know it was a special effort, and we're very grateful. I know we were lucky with the weather, but the garden and the games were a big hit with the children, and contributed a great deal to everyone's enjoyment.

- MMother of the Bride12/11/2018Cannot thank you enough...Cannot thank you enough...My daughter and husband have just had their wedding reception here. All our family stayed here. Our room was very spacious. The gardens are delightful, the house itself is goeorgous and the staff were great. Staff went over and beyond for us all. The wedding planner and hotel manager made sure the wedding went smoothly allowing family and freinds to enjoy this splended celebration. Chefs produced fantastic food for wedding meals. This was a lovely hotel in a tranquil location by the river and very quiet. This venue gave the wedding party the exact experience that was asked for.
