Happy couple married in July

Incredible wedding venue
We attended an event here and loved it. There are not many venues left which have the feeling of true independence and this is one of them! All the staff were so attentive and on hand for our every need. We felt so special and that we could really make the venue our own for the day! Highly recommend it!

Beautiful intimate venue
Such a beautiful intimate wedding venue. Perfect for couples wishing to hold a celebration with close family and friends. Our favourite concept is the fireplace room for your ceremony, followed by an intimate romantic meal for 22 in the ballroom. With option to invite all your friends and family to celebrate on the evening in the main dining room. For us - this venue is perfect for more of an autumnal / winter wedding, as well as a smaller less crowded summertime celebration.

The refurbishment of the rooms has made them look very pleasant and with good bathrooms. Friendly service from their staff. I love the Batman's beers on offer in the bar.
