With respect to your review In relation to your disappointment with the bar closing at 11.00pm we actually did extend our serving time longer than our normal operating hours to accommodate the wedding party . The hotel respects all residents and we try to ensure we minimise noise disturbance late at night. Therefore we do not operate a 24 hour... More

We came up to book our wedding next year. The first thing we noticed was the smell of decay which worsened into tobacco, obviously from the leather seats.
