Fantastic day start to end!

We had the most fantastic day. The whole weekend was amazing. Everything went so very well. The food was amazing as always, the decor, the ambience all perfect. All of our guests had a wonderful time and are still talking about it, especially those who stayed over which were quite a few. The staff were an absolute credit to yourselves and everyone commented on it. Polite, helpful, courteous, friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We do need to especially, thank, you Jane, Jess, Ruth, Kirsty, Daniel and George for making our day as perfect as it could possibly have been.

I could keep writing compliments as I think of something new every day.

What a wonderful experience it was and we will never be able to thank you all enough.
