Wedding Facilities: two elegant ballrooms

Location: 168 acres of parkland

“This boutique hotel, nestled within extensive parkland, strikes me as an ideal wedding venue, especially given the option for Asian catering. While some may find aspects of the manor house a touch dated, its event spaces and grounds exude genuine charm. The location is convenient to local attractions, yet the atmosphere feels delightfully removed.”
