21st Birthday Party · 30 guests · March 2026

Derby Suite was fantastic for 15 people, was perfect for a black tie dinner. Staff were so friendly and provided a fantastic service. What was also a bonus was being able to have our dog with us.

We stayed at the hotel, unfortunetly the rooms are very tired looking, curtains were broken, bathroom flooded, was also a shame the lifts were out as that made carry bags etc to rooms really hard.
