Wedding postponed - 4 times!
Just wanted to say thankyou again so much for hosting our special day earlier this month! Every single one of you were amazing, special mentions have to go to Neil, Dave and Peter who have helped us rearrange 4 times, without any troubles, they answered calls and emails at all times of the day and nothing was ever too much trouble. Dave and Peter were both amazing on our day, and it genuinely was the best day ever! We're so glad we picked here to have our wedding. It was perfect, and we loved every single minute of it. Lots of love, the new Mr & Mrs Hunt xx

Magical Wedding
Yesterday our daughters wedding was held at this hotel. Firstly I would like to say my husband and I have stayed here before when visiting our daughter so were confident that the services would be perfect. The wedding day from start to finish was the most magical experience, Dave , Anita and their fantastic team looked after us (bridal party) from arrival on Saturday, for the wedding on Sunday until we departed today (Monday) at lunchtime. Food was delicious, plentiful, hot and served properly. Rooms were comfortable and housekeeping excellent. So thanks again Dave, Anita and your fabulous team.
See you soon.
