Celebrated a wonderful wedding at this venue. We met by the sea so to have the opportunity to celebrate our wedding down by the sea, with spectacular views for the guests, was really special. The team could not do enough for us, were so positive and keen to help us create a perfect day and the food was amazing and had rave reviews from all guests. We were so lucky with the weather and would highly recommend this venue to and fantastic staff to everyone!Celebrated a wonderful wedding at this venue.
