From the moment we approached Holbeck Ghyll to consider it as a wedding venue, we knew it was perfect for our special day. The views from every aspect were fantastic. We were welcomed in by Andrew McPherson who talked us through every aspect of our plans. The size of the hotel was perfect for our wedding party, and we loved... More

We stayed 2 nights, weekend visit without kids, for adult luxury and walking (and one of the nights was free, as I won it in a competition, but not with the hotel itself, so I feel free to review without prejudice).
