I'm a wedding photographer and I shot a wedding here in June. The hotel is perfect for your special day. Beautiful big bridal room with lots of natural light (perfect for your hair and make up team)Fabulous ceremony room and the perfect backdrop for your photos with the huge grass verges and the prom in front. Not too far to stroll down to the windmill either if you'd love to include that. Staff are wonderful and are happy to help in any way. Highly recommend.

lovely hotel

Lovely hotel, very clean and nicely decorated. Room very spacious, we were lucky enough to have a view of the Ribble Estuary. Comfy beds, lots of storage. Lovely food. Staff all very helpful and friendly, especially the Italian waiter at breakfast who kept bursting into song. Only "con" was there was no safe in the bedroom which I would have liked. Would definitely stay here again.

We held are daughter s wedding on 7 th December we cannot thank all the staff for making the day so special from start to finish. We would like to give a special mention to Dan who was absolutely amazing he couldn’t have done anything more to make the day go so smoothly nothing was to much trouble. We couldn’t thank him enough for making it such a special day. Also thank you so much to Bernard another member of your team that went out of his way to help to make such a fantastic day
