"Great place to visit!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
When we arrived we were greeted warmly by the staff. Our room was more than we expected and our dinner was fresh and delicious. On Saturday we spent the day preparing for a wedding and it was perfect! The venue was decorated with a bridal arch and afterward the post ceremony menu delivered canapés and drinks of all sorts. The dinner was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been any more helpful. Overall is was a great experience. I would love to return again and again.
