- SSarah & Dan19/11/2017memories that we shall treasure for a lifetimememories that we shall treasure for a lifetime“The Horn of Plenty surpassed our expectations in every way possible enabling us to have the most wonderful wedding day. Julie and Emma took care of everything for us. The Hotel offers a dedicated wedding co-ordinator – something that we hadn’t expected, but were so grateful to have. Throughout the planning stages both Julie and Emma accommodated all of our requests and offered us guidance when appropriate. On the wedding day itself, they made sure the day flowed seamlessly, enabling us to relax and enjoy the day. The communication between us and the Hotel was excellent. We felt like our wedding was as important to them, as it was to us. We were allowed to feel as if nothing was ever too much trouble, no matter how small the request. We, and our guests, were made to feel so welcome within the Hotel. All of the staff were excellent. The accommodation was superb and the food was spectacular. Our guests raved about the food, as much as they did about the venue. We cannot recommend this Hotel highly enough. We have every intention of going back to the Hotel on a regular basis, and it has become a firm favourite with our guests too. Thanks to the Horn of Plenty, we have created memories that we shall treasure for a lifetime.”“The Horn of Plenty surpassed our expectations in every way possible enabling us to have the most wonderful wedding day.

- VVicki and Lee27/06/2016Most wonderful experienceMost wonderful experienceThe breathtaking views over the valley and gorgeous venue and beautiful gardens won us over immediately. From the moment we booked, a year before, to the special day the wedding team were in close contact and always quick to reply to emails or phone calls. The day itself was amazing. I can’t believe how smoothly it all went and how relaxed I felt. I think this was because everything was very organised leading up to the day. All the recommended services (florist/cake/cheese shop) were incredible and the food was delicious on the day. Thank you to Shirna and the wedding team for making the day so special for us. I wish we could do it all again!The breathtaking views over the valley and gorgeous venue and beautiful gardens won us over immediately.

- CCatherine and Luke27/06/2016A day to remember A day to rememberWe chose the Horn of Plenty as our wedding venue for a couple of reasons 1) The amazing setting, and more importantly, 2) Julie, the owner and Wedding planner. She made us feel so welcome and special from the moment we stepped into the hotel whilst looking for a venue that we knew we wanted to get married there. From that very first meeting, Julie and her team couldn’t do enough to ensure our day was perfect in every way. We planned the wedding from Yorkshire and the wedding team were on always hand to answer any questions we had. The actual day was amazing. The food was out of this world. The chef had created a bespoke menu for us earlier in the year where we met with him and discussed our favourite food. He then designed a menu around this and made our favourite foods even better! All of our guests commented on how good the food was and how well ran the day went. I can’t recommend The Horn of Plenty enough. We will most certainly be going back in years to come.
