But its prime location helped us ...

Great hotel. Charming and classic. Had our wedding ceremony here and the team were great. The newly renovated Trillium room provided the perfect back drop. Kylie, Claire and Aurora were excellent to coordinate with (on shorter notice). The team did an excellent job, the food and drink were great. Thank you! Joel & Sam
