    My beautiful bride and I had our wedding here on Saturday 6th May 2017. Everyone at the hotel were amazing and did absolutely everything to make our day so special. The venue is superb, the staff are amazing and all the trimmings were spot on. I would just like to make a special mention to Becki, Rachel, Elisa, Holly, Mariusz and Oltioh (sorry about my spelling). You guys were absolutely awesome, thank you so much!
