Dissapointed bridal party.
Pros:

Location bar facilities

Cons:

Being overcharged for breakfast over £400 for seven of us ,then Being accused of not paying, then as a goodwill gesture, the manager said he would believe us that we paid .
Daughters room had a leaking roof, had to be moved in the middle of the night, the night before her wedding.
And finally wen I got home I discovered i had been changed again for an extra night without my consent and had to wait seven days for a refund.

Cheshire Wedding
Pros:

Pheasant was suitable as we were attending a wedding locally. Eat in the pub, food was lovely as was the breakfast.

Cons:

Furniture in room a little tired. Had an interesting shower and took a while to sort. Just needs a new shower head. Other than that we were happy. Staff allowed usual extra hour to use room to get ready. Thank you for that.
