Great venue, centrally located, nice atmosphere in a historic setting. Hosted our company team offsite with 25 people and it was a success.
No negatives.

Variety of options Flexibility
Bringing the trolley in for the breaks/canapés at the end was quite noisy but not sure how else the team could manage as ‘in room’ catering space only. Maybe just extra care in being as quiet as possible but didn’t effect the overall high standards enjoyed
