    The location was beautiful with well kept buildings and lawns, I don't eat but apparently the food was fantastic, the service was slow. I became so tired that as the wedding was at 14:30 and they finally put the second course out at 17:30 I didn't witness my husband's (father of the bride) speech which really was too long and disappointing for me. Access is awkward, there were both cobbles and gravel pathways to contend with. The actual service and care to detail was perfection.

    Disabled Access In and Around

    Bad

    ccess was sometimes complicated with only one ramp access being available. There are many gravel paths which could still look good if they had a silicone base. Ì found using my wheelchair frightening, but I had no alternative. Once indoors the place was perfect, spacious wooden floors and a real old country feel.

    There was specific access for disabled people but we immediately had to contented with cobble stones! The car parking was right next to the special disabled room

    Excellent

    The staff were very courteous and polite. They made me and my assistance dog feel very happy and welcomed.

    Additional Information

    It is a beautiful venue with just a few more graded ramps on small steps would make it just better for the disabled person. In reality thry are trying hard to make the whole place as accessible as it can be without ruining its aesetic.
