An amazing day

We had such an amazing day it went by so quickly. We can't thank you and everybody in the operations team enough they were brilliant the day went so smoothly. Everyone commented on how nice the venue was and thought the food was amazing. We had such a great time wish we could do it all over again.

Outstanding

Where could we start? But just start by saying outstanding!! Our coordinator (Sam) From the day we booked the Barns 14 months ago, your effort and services has been excellent! Your quick responses to our queries, your guidance, patience and expert advice through out our journey have been second to none and we both want to say a personal thank you. Kitchen,catering & waitering staffs Our menu tasting and not forgetting our complementary meals were lovely and on the day our praises form us and our guests. A big thank you for reception & room service First of all the effort the staff made to accommodate our early guest trying to check inn on the day, they've worked really hard to get our guest in before the normal arrival time and managed to do so after two weddings the day before. The attention to detail and service shown and given on the day by each staff, doing everything to making us and all our guest stress free. Our master if ceremony (Ben & Ben) Fantastic job the whole day, even after both Ben's swapped over for the evening.

Once again many many thanks from us both! Kind regards Lisa and Paul
