Reviews

Richard and Sarah 13.10.2018

We just wanted to say again what a great day we had and to let you know how much we appreciate all the effort you put into making our day so wonderful! The wedding was lovely and cosy – exactly what we had wished for. We felt very much at home.

All of our family and friends have told us how much they enjoyed the wedding and wanted to know how we managed to find such an amazing venue. We got told by our friends that the food was the best they have had in a very long time and that we have ‘raised the game’ for any future weddings.

Sarah’s family also had a wonderful time staying with you. They thought their rooms were luxurious, but at the same time enjoyed the homely atmosphere and are planning to return in the near future. (Also Sarah’s mum is trying to find a good spot for bumblebee wallpaper in her house now...).
