We weren't aware of two weddings on that weekend until we arrived to the hotel. It wasn't pleasant being woken up around 2pm and then at 3am in the morning with guests shouting around the corridors It ruined the experience of what should have been a pleasant getaway. Otherwise, the location is lovely and hotel is nice.

Fantastic stay, friendly staff, convenient, everything available. Only suggestion is the in-house menu is a little underwhelming and could do with more variety.
