Amazingly accommodating, cosy, friendly and quality venue

We are not youngsters and wanted to be different. We had a wish list for small, friendly with open fire. We got all of our wish list and more. We did a 20s theme and opted for exclusive use, which was still affordable and great value, in our opinion. Hotel staff were great.... discreet but attentive, just what we wanted. We still go back on occasion, and are always welcomed and remembered. Great venue with excellent service, and multiple roaring open fires :-).

Wonderful day!

We had our ‚Winter Ball‘ wedding celebration (we got married in Germany where we live) in January 2018. My friend had previously had her Reception there in December 2017 so we got to try the venue out. Such a beautiful location, food was delicious, the cooked breakfast the next day was tasty too, accommodation brilliant especially the treats left in our room! We will cherish our memories and photos forever! Thank you Holdsworth!
