Meeting · 12 guests · March 2023 · Warington Suite

The staff were amazing and helpful The booking system was easy and straight forward The payment system made the day easy The room and facilities and catering was amazing

It was slightly noisy outside our room, we had a front window room and we could hear a truck working on the grounds all day which made it hard to hear in our room sometimes but that isn't the venue's fault.
