Perfect venue!

Perfect venue for our wedding. So helpful, friendly and just perfect! We dry hired and i had heard themat venues arent as helpful when you dry hire but holiday inn was super helpful. All the way from planning to after the wedding! The grounds are beautiful and the weather was glorious for our outdoor ceremony and we had the best wedding reception in the Elizabeth suite and we used the lakeside suite as a childrens room and hired an entertainer. Most of our guests spent the entire weekend there. The kitchen staff at breakfast were so lovely, she even held the kitchen open for an extra 5 minutes for us the morning after the ceremony so that we could all enjoy breakfast. I'm really pleased we chose this venue.

Over the moon!

Cannot thank you all enough! Had my wedding here last weekend and was over the moon! Everything went perfectly thanks to all the amazing staff. Anything needed was dealt with with quickly and professionally. The grounds are beautiful and we're a lovely back drop for our photos and also a great place to let the kids run around after the ceremony. The food was amazing and there was so much more than expected. We had a minor hiccup before our ceremony (not a fault of the hotel) but Brendan and Dan sorted the issue without any worries and were on hand all night. Christy went above and beyond to help make this day perfect for us and all our guests. Cannot recommend the venue enough. Not only for weddings/parties but also for the lovely clean, comfortable and quiet rooms and brilliant breakfast! Thank you for all the staff who worked 25/03/2017

Excellent Excellent Excellent

We only booked the Holiday Inn for our Wedding one month beforehand with the banqueting manager. She and her staff couldn't have been more helpful. Very attentive without being intrusive, extremely friendly and made the whole day a very special occasion. All our guests commentated on the quality of the food and we must pass our compliments on to the Chef and his staff as well. Although very nervous about the wedding ceremony the Terrace Room was cosy and had a warming feeling. Everything the hotel did for us and our guests was truely perfect and I cannot recommend and praise them enough. Excellent
