COVID-19 Update
We know how difficult the current times are, and how challenging it is for couples who have their weddings coming up.
We are working with any of our couples who are effected by the current situation to either postpone their wedding date with us, or to amend their plans to have a more intimate wedding.
We are absolutely still taking new wedding bookings for future months and years, and we look forward to hosting many more weddings at our hotel!

Planning a wedding in a pandemic
So far the dolphin have been amazing answering my weird questions and helping me contain my worry! Feels like they will do anything for us to have the perfect day, even if at the moment I cant be as hands on as I'd like Haha.

Nothing was too much trouble!
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for being so amazing on Saturday. We couldn't have asked for any more and the day was faultless, everything was how I imagined it and more and I couldn't get over how beautiful the room was. I have had so many people praise you all and the waiters too. Nothing was too much trouble.
I'd like to also say thank you to Dan as he was brilliant.
