Chris and I would like to thank all of the staff at The Rose and Crown for making our day so special. In particular Catherine (Cat) and Sue Brown. Unfortunately Sue wasn't there for our wedding day, due to holiday, but leading up to our wedding, she was marvelous. She answered any questions or

queries we had or tending to guests special needs, she was amazing. We met Catherine (Cat) the day prior to our wedding. She excelled to another level, from arranging the table layout, to decorations and music for the ceremony, nothing was too much trouble. She was absolutely delightful and a great asset to this beautiful hotel.

The reception staff were absolutely wonderful, including the waitresses and bar staff.

This delightful hotel and amazing staff makes The Rose and Crown Hotel a magical venue for anyones wedding. We can't thank them enough for a flawless day that we will treasure forever.

Perfect place for an all-inclusive wedding. Good location, plenty of parking for your guests. The staff at the hotel went out of their way to make all the guests feel at home.
All the guests commented on how good the food was. The hotel has lots of history, it's an old hotel, but the rooms had

mod cons. The four-poster bedroom was spacious and lovely.
The reception room was fantastic. A bit like stepping back into Tudor times. Good for pictures.
Some friends of ours, who went to our wedding, are thinking about having their wedding at this location.
If you want a wedding venue that's full of character with fantastic staff, do not hesitate, just book.

We had a wonderful time at The Rose and Crown. We couldn't ask for a better venue or staff that looked after us. All of our family were made to feel welcome and looked after. We were lucky enough to have Lisa help us from start to finish with all the changes that had to be made to our day. We will
