Testimonials

I have covered 3 weddings at this venue. The grounds are lovely in all seasons of the year. The building itself well kept and the staff very attentive and friendly.

Vanessa White

We got married here last week. Amazing place. Staff are willing to go the extra mile for you. I loved the location, the building and grounds, the pool and the manor bedrooms. Bar is pretty average but food is lovely.
