From the first meeting with the hotel manager who showed me around the hotel and the rooms they had for the reception, dance floor bar and access for the disabled. I could not have been happier, the staff were attentive and listened to all my wishes. I could change things and add without any hassle, the red carpet on the steps going up to the main entrance made a fantastic welcome, it made us feel like royalty. He staff and guest clapping on our arrival. I gave in a list of our guest and they got the rooms at a cheaper rate and my husband and I were given a lovely suite for the night, seafront view. I would recommend any event at the Cavendish Hotel. We had a great experience and a stress free wedding reception. Thank you to all the staff for making our special day amazing.
