Although I've never spent a night in the Oriel House I have spent a few days there. Years ago I…read moreworked for an employer who from time to time used the Oriel as a venue for training courses. I actually spent my fortieth birthday there on a slightly strange course from which I learned nothing but at least I got a day out of the office and a nice lunch. I've just recently been back as my brother-in-law and his fiance chose the hotel as their wedding venue. They do the complete wedding package in-house so the ceremony, wedding breakfast and night do all took place in the hotel. The grounds are ideal for wedding photos and there is a nice outdoor patio, not too far from the bar, which is a great location to sit around and chat while the photos are being taken. If the weather isn't good enough there's a bright and warm conservatory adjacent to the patio. The food at the wedding breakfast was very good, duck parfait as a starter, roast chicken with boulangere potatoes and veg for the main course and a rich chocolate cheesecake with caramalised bananas for dessert. Everything was well cooked and tasty. Service was very efficient with courses been served quickly but without any feeling of being rushed. The evening buffet consisted of cooked meats, quiches and pasta and rice salads and again was very tasty and a step above those hotels that rely on the freezers in Iceland for their buffet menu. All in all a very well organised and enjoyable day. I can't really comment on the accommodation, although I did get a quick look at the bridal suite (and I assume that not every room has a jacuzzi the bedroom!), but as a conference/training or wedding venue you can't go too far wrong with the Oriel House. The only minor quibble we had was that there was no facility to pay by card at the bar, we had to leave a card behind the bar and set up a tab, but we would have preferred to pay as we went.

The first thing that strikes you when you enter is that this hotel is very well run. The staff are young bright and energetic, nothing is too much trouble for them.

The hotel is smart, clean and has some lovely surroundings. There are two resteraunts at the venue. The Chestnut tree which is family orientated, good food at reasonable prices which is adjacent to the childrens play area, and only seperated by an internal door. There are CCTV cameras for those wanting to keep an eye on the younger ones. The childrens area consists of the usual funplay area, and a small outdoor playarea for the warmer days. This is often booked for childrens parties. There is also a higher class of restaurant (Cellar's) for those special occassions again offering great food at a higher price. The venue is also used for weddings, christenings and company functions.

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place! David and Elvira are such charming hosts, and the food and wine selections are excellent. We loved our reception and our beautiful suite so much; we returned for another week's stay last month. David and Elvira were once again so charming and accommodating -- they even remembered my parents from the wedding. :) I can guarantee that you will not find a lovelier, feels-like-home experience than this beautiful place. Oh, and the breakfast options included in the room price are absolutely delicious! Very private location with beautiful grounds, but quick access for site-seeing in the surrounding communities. David and Elvira always have wonderful suggestions for day trips, I reccommend that you inquire upon arrival. Lovely, lovely place!

There was a good selection on the menu both for breakfast and dinner. The waitresses were very courteous and hard working. Because I had mentioned I was gluten free on our first evening the next morning my breakfast came and a little later on some gluten free toast. This was much appreciated also the gluten free soup in the evening. The entertainment was very good. Our rooms were clean and very comfortable. My only comment was I felt a few more waitresses were needed but they did very well. Altogether a brilliant stay thank you.
