We have 80 bedrooms and reduced
accommodation rates are available for your

therefore we ask you to check availability of
bedrooms at the time of making your
provisional booking.
We do not automatically book any
accommodation for your wedding guests; we
ask that a separate written letter of confirmation
is sent to the hotel requesting accommodation
when you confirm your Wedding Reception.
The maximum number of bedrooms allocated to
any one wedding will be 14.
A complimentary room will be booked for the
Bride and Groom.

We can provisionally hold a date for a maximum of 14 days with
no obligation; this will allow you time to check with all relevant
authorities and necessary suppliers to ensure their availability. We will
send you a letter along with a wedding contract to confirm we are
holding the date.
In order to confirm your booking, we would require a non-refundable
deposit of £750, along with the signed wedding contract and a
written letter confirming your accommodation requirements.
We will contact you approximately 4 months prior to your wedding,
in order to arrange an appointment for you to meet with your
wedding planner and discuss your food and beverage choices. After
this meeting we will prepare an estimated cost for your day, of which
50% of the balance will be payable. The remaining balance will be
due 28 days prior to the wedding.
