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.
