A wonderfully warm and efficient team
We felt so lucky to have the warm and efficient team at the Vineyard take care of our wedding day. We had a very small wedding party but the team treated the whole affair as though it was for a much bigger group, and they were wonderfully attentive beforehand and on the day. We felt very welcomed, and the friendliness and flexibility of the team was truly fabulous.

The most amazing venue with superb service
I cannot thank the Vineyard enough for the most wonderful of weddings. We visited several 4 and 5 star venues to hold our intimate personal wedding. First impressions are important and sometimes the smallest of things make all the difference. To start the Vineyard was the only venue to offer us complementary tea or coffee during our initial visit. This told us immediately that our interest was important to them and a clear sign of the excellent service to come.... Another thing that impressed us, for a 5 star hotel, it didn't feel pretentious as some do, it was just relaxed elegance and gave the impression of a venue where our guests whom are all from different backgrounds would feel relaxed and at ease. The Vineyard is stunning, due to Covid it was really important to us that people felt safe. Apart from the atmosphere and decor both of which were amazing we loved the fact we had our own bar area with separate bathroom facilities to utilise adjoining the main function room that doubled up for the ceremony and wedding breakfast. From the bar area there are also double doors that lead out to our own private patio space so it just flows so wonderfully well with our own space away from other hotel guests, something most of the venues could not match. The main function room is beautiful. The inside space is especially impressive, the walkway from the main reception over a glass suspended floor above the cellar with its lighting is outstanding and creates such an impressive welcome to your guest's, it is beyond a wow factor. The huge painting on the back wall in of the bar adds to the impressive setting, I can honestly say the inside space is street's ahead of the other venues we viewed and what with our weather being so unreliable the inside space was far more a priority for us. Service.... well what can I say, our wedding was postponed because of lock-down but this was no trouble for the hotel, they were so so accommodating. Because at the point of our marriage we had not seen many of our family and friends for considerable time due to Covid, because we had family travelling from overseas it was so vitally important that this would be everyone's day. I am both very fussy with a keen attention to detail and also super organised, nothing was too much trouble for the Vineyard. Nicole the wedding and events manager is an absolute diamond, nothing was too much trouble and every request was accommodated. Both Nicole and her team were extremely responsive and so keen to deliver our dream wedding and deliver our requirements whilst assisting with suggestions. The attention to detail and ensuring that at no point throughout did we ever feel stressed. Working with other suppliers like our florists and pianist and dealing with the logistics. Working with the head chef and sommelier to create a perfect meal with the most amazing wine's. We had such an amazing relaxed wedding and all our guests commented on how incredible the day was. People commenting on how they had never been to a wedding like this, how this was the best food they had been served at any wedding and how incredible the venue and service was. We wanted a memorable intimate personal wedding that gave to everyone especially with the hardships of Covid and with the Vineyards efforts we succeeded. We cannot thank Nicole, her team and the Vineyard enough for working hard to create the most memorable amazing day, the best day of our lives. Thank you so very much.

A lovely stay and Celebration lunch
We stayed at this hotel for two nights and had a celebration lunch for my son's wedding. The planning of this event was flawless and extremely enjoyable. The hotel has a very relaxed atmosphere and the staff are very courteous and cannot do enough for you. The rooms are luxurious and cosy. I would certainly like to return for another visit- perhaps to celebrate their anniversary! Well done to all the staff for making us feel so welcome.

Incredible!
We were fortunate enough to have our wedding at The Vineyard Hotel & Spa last year and what a wedding it was! Nothing was too much trouble for the Vineyard team and the whole day ran seamlessly. The ambience, food and service was impeccable - all of our guests commented on how fabulous the food was. When planning our wedding we were offered endless advice and support from the events team, which made the whole experience stress free and very exciting! They were very responsive and provided regular updates so we knew exactly what was happening at all times (which is what every bride wants when planning their special day)! The venue truly is spectacular, we would highly recommend this wedding venue to anyone looking to get married if you want 5* luxury for you and your guests.

Wonderful Experience
There are no words to explain how accommodating, helpful and kind Nicole and her team were in helping us to plan our wedding. Everything was done to the highest standard and nothing fell short of our expectations. It was truly the most wonderful day of our lives and Nicole made the whole planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for high quality food and service, luxury accommodation, fair pricing and flexibility.
