    Hired the Boardroom out for a bridal afternoon tea party and everything was fabulous: the events team leading up to the event, the freedom to decorate and most importantly the waitresses! The food was delicious and so fresh, the scones literally melted in the mouth. All 25 of us were waited on so well with filled glasses, requests for tea and offers of more food. We got through several wonderful bottles of Prosecco which were chilling in the room. We were never forgotten about, given 'doggy' bags and even helped with photos. Cannot thank you enough for helping me make the bride's special pre-wedding day!

    Stayed as part of a wedding party this weekend...what an amazing experience! The staff were incredibly attentive and nothing was too much trouble. A particular thanks to Beth and Emily for looking after us and keeping the Gin flowing (and the coffee the next morning!) Thank you also to Viv Thomas for overseeing a beautiful weekend. Food was amazing, the hotel itself is gorgeous and there is so much to do.
