Meeting · 10 guests · October 2026 · The Phelan Suite

The coffee was incredible. The venue has such lovely decor and a really relaxed vibe. Very comfortable and screen and wifi were good. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make our day better. We liked it so much we booked the following day too.

Sandwich lunch not terribly generous, but was enough.

Workshop · 8 guests · September 2026 · The Phelan Suite

super happy with my great experience with this venue - speedy, helpful communication prior to my booking, and such friendly and kind members of staff on the day; service was so good and they went above & beyond! the room was great, even better than the pictures with everything we needed, and a really handy long hdmi cable, a flipchart, a tall freestanding fan, wifi etc. toilet is also right near the room which was perfect for us! we accidentally ran over a little bit time wise and they were very kind about it and also allowed me into the room before my workshop started to set my laptop up. their included drinks package was fantastic too! will definitely be using this venue again and would recommend it to anyone.

nothing to dislike at all, was happy with everything!
