our wedding was held here. sophia helped set up the tables. the venue, both inside and the grounds, is beautiful. it is a location for a wedding. the team of staff was amazing, helping us organize the event and ensure it all ran smoothly on the day. the food was amazing too. guests complimented it a lot.
the room looked very tired. it definitely needs updating. the curtains were frayed, worn, and stained. various marks and chips were seen on the paint work. the furniture seemed old and shabby.
