Birthday Dinner · 130 guests · May 2025
The booking process was smooth, Danny was very helpful along the way. The venue itself is great and is kept well, meaning that minimal decor is needed. I had a great time celebrating my 30th birthday there and would recommend using this venue.

Hall · 150 guests · April 2025
The venue, the location, the general ambiance. Really really happy with actual venue
The communication from staff was really poor. It sometimes took days before I got a reply. Not great when planning a wedding. Also, I was told by my caterer that one of the ovens wasn’t working (they had catered for a different event at the venue two weeks before my wedding) so I had to pay my caterer an extra £150 for a hot cupboard - the venue denied it but I still had to pay. Staff seem really friendly but it wasn’t nice having to deal with such inconsistent communication.

Wedding · 60 guests · February 2025
It was a lovely venue for a small intimate wedding. It was a beautiful place and had rave reviews from everyone that attended. The lighting was perfect and Danny was on hand to help at the beginning of the day. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!

  • Donah S. rated it 4/5 stars
    'The room was excellent - much larger than it appears in photos, it has a really nice set up, two private toilets, dim-able mood lighting, and a speaker for our use. Paddy was very accommodating on our arrival, and did not interfere with the party. On the day, we had no complaints.'
