If you have a date in mind, please let us know, as a provisional booking will ensure that the room is reserved for you. A non-refundable deposit of £500 is then required to confirm your booking within 14 days of the initial enquiry. We will require final guest numbers at least 14 days prior to your wedding. This will be the minimum number for which you will be charged, unless additional guests are catered for on the day.

The final balance must be paid at least 14 day prior to your wedding. 50% of the estimated final bill is required three months prior to your wedding. In the event of a booking being cancelled, the Hotel will endeavour to minimise the loss by re-letting the room. If however, the Hotel is unsuccessful, a cancellation charge will be made; this is stated in the terms and conditions you will receive once the wedding has been confirmed.

Wedding Packages are subject to availability, and restrictions apply.

Car parking is available for your Wedding guests during your daytime and evening celebrations at no extra cost. If any of your guests are staying as residents or would like to leave a car overnight, this is charged at a concessionary rate of £6.00. All vehicles in the car park must be registered at Reception upon arrival to avoid an automatic fine being issued.

To add even more elegance to your special day why not ask about adding chair covers, including a sash of your choice to your event – please ask for more information.
