• Nice reception staff.
• Leisure facilities clearly need upgrading.

“I had my whole wedding at this beautiful venue. The day was fantastic and I have no regrets using the venue for such an event. But, the following year we went back for our first anniversary and found it was deserted, the a la carte restaurant in the blue room where I got married was awful. As I am a very good cook I would have far preferred to cook a meal at home. The steak was like rubber and no taste. At breakfast their staff couldn¿t cope - and there were hardly any guests. We also noticed their uniforms were very dirty. Hopefully it¿s changed in the last year.”

• Hotel setting, and it's ambience - felt quality without being intimidating

“Hotel setting, leisure facilities.”

• Food was excellent
• Because of wedding party, attention to other guests and accommodation was poor

“My husband e-mailed the hotel from Nigeria and asked for a room up-grade we asked to change room twice and were still not satisfied with the room we eventually accepted. It took 30 mins in the restaurant for our order to be taken and there were only three parties in the dining-room. The management should not accept overnight guests whilst weddings are being held, as they clearly cannot cope.”

• The double room was very good. Spacious and comfortable.
• There was very little about the hotel itself in the literature

“We were welcomed by a very friendly receptionist and after we signed in we were given the instructions to find our room. The room was lovely, plenty of space and nice decor. The bathroom was large and well equiped. We liked the relaxed atmosphere whilst still maintaining a great standard. Cammies bar where we had a meal on the 1st night was ok and the meal was absolutely super. The following night we went to the Dining room and whilst the atmosphere there was excellent,the staff very attentive, the food superb, we felt the cost was quite a bit more than in Cammies bar and twice the price. Yes you are paying for the lovely ambience of the dining room and I would still go to the dining room for a special occasion as it was this time but the food in Cammies was every bit as good.
We found the wine quite expensive. After our meal in the dining room we went to the Drawing room for Brandies and coffees and sat with the log fire roaring up the chimney and read our papers. Quite splendid. I am notsure it would be enough for younger couples but certianly if you like good standards and yet a relaxed atmosphere it would be perfect. The souroundings were also very beautiful.”
