Our St Quentinโ€™s Suite is perfect for hosting your Wedding breakfast. with its beautiful private courtyard giving a beautiful back drop for your day. On a pleasant day, the bi-folding doors can be opened to allow the indoor and outdoors to merge, giving an alfresco feel. The St Quentinโ€™s Suite, on the ground floor, is a perfect suite to host 50-100 guests, and up to a maximum of 150 in the evening. Its stylish chandeliers give the room a sparkle of elegance, along with a modern twist.

This is an excellent venue for a wedding.
This is an excellent venue for a wedding. We visited in September 2023 for a friend's wedding. It is a lovely hotel in the centre of Cowbridge. The parking is very easy with a resident's car park at the rear of the property.
