The hotel was great the room was ideal for our purposes and all the staff we interacted with were very helpful and friendly. We all enjoyed the lunches too.
The room was very hot as the air conditioning was not working, we were provided with fans which did help.

Amazing venue, very spacious, gorgeous backdrops and has everything you need such as toilets beside it, a bar, lighting, parking outside etc. Was a perfect choice for our book fair event
The only thing I would fault is some of the staff weren’t informed of everything for the day - had to go up during the event for more tables, lighting wasn’t as agreed and was told there was Bluetooth/music connections when booking but on the day was told no.
Other than that the staff were lovely.
