Facilities FAQs
Do we have access to the Wellness facilities?
Access to the wellness area can be added at reception for an additional £20.00 per person for 3 hours use of the facilities.
Do you do outside ceremonies?
Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate outdoor ceremonies. Ceremonies can take place in any of our licenced rooms.
Is there Parking on site?
Yes, we have up to 200 parking spaces free of charge.
Can you accommodate smaller weddings?
Yes, we can. We have our brand-new function room, Fairways, which would be perfect for these, plus our Upstairs Restaurant where the ceremony is able to take place. We can certainly build you a bespoke package for this also, depending on your requirements.
Do you supply master of ceremonies?
We usually suggest to our couples that it is a nice way to include people in their wedding day, however, we are happy to do this for you if you require it.
Do you allow smoke grenades?
Unfortunately, we don’t, due to the nature of the golf course and the grass.
Do you allow fireworks?
Yes, we do. We have a specific area by the marquee terrace area where you can watch the display. We need to know you're intending to have fireworks three months prior to your wedding to allow us time to prepare. You will need to organise a fireworks company to attend as this is not something we provide.
What do brides, grooms and guests think of the venue?
Happy couples getting married at the venue love; the beauty of our wedding venue, the high quality, delicious food we serve on their wedding day, the quality of decorations used through our wedding spaces and how helpful and friendly our dedicated wedding team are.

Staying At the Hotel FAQs

Of course! To stay in one of our 2- or 4-bedroom apartments, there is a minimum of a 2 nights stay for your guests. We also offer a special upgrade option from the Bridal Suite for the happy couple.
We are getting married at 1.30pm, will our guests be able to check into their bedrooms before our ceremony?
Unfortunately not, check in is at 3pm but we do have a limited number of rooms that we can agree an early check in at the additional cost of £30. Alternatively, should it be essential that your guests can access the room prior to this, we suggest they book a room the night before.

Yes, we can offer discounted rates on green fees. Please enquire with the Pro Shop for further details.

Are guide dogs and assistance dogs welcome?
Yes, guides dogs and assistance dogs are welcome to attend the ceremony and day of the wedding.
Is there somewhere the bridal party can get ready on the day?
We do have additional rooms for hire (subject to availability). Another option would be to take advantage of our apartment upgrade and stay with us the night before.

Yes, there could be another wedding or event take place at the venue on the same day, but you would have exclusive use of your function room along with bar access.
