Reviews
We have just spent the best time here. 22 family members aging from 10 months to 69 years. We all had fun being the bar person and pulling the pints and it was lovely been able to all sit in the bar together. The games room was a big hit with everyone, it was so well equipped with all sorts of games as well as the pool table and air hokey. The outside area with the hot tub and bar area is really good, unfortunately we didn't use it much because of the weather. Thank you Darren for such a lovely venue.
