My husband and I recently got married here. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. The views are picturesque and the hotel is stunning, but it is the staff that made us feel so special.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel like a part of the family . Every member of staff was just so friendly and nothing was too much to ask . The food was lovely , location was sublime . We will 100% recommend it to your friends and will definitely come back here again. Well worth the 7 hour drive.

OMG. Amazing! Had afternoon tea here. Where to start, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel is stunning and has great views. The food was out of this world. If you’re here for afternoon tea, make sure you’re hungry because they REALLY feed you. In a word – amazing.
