The chair covers were as described 'top quality' and they had every colour imagineable in the sashes and a very classy range of centrepieces. The husband and wife team personally set up our weding reception room themselves with one of there staff. The result was flawless and to open the door into the room initially was breathtaking. I would highly recommend them for quality,price and for being genuineley nice people.

The hotel offer meals in the bar or resaurant and the food is pub grub. On sundays they offer a carvery in a canteen style room at the back of the hotel.

Staff are enormously helpful and friendly, the beach is out the door, the view is amazing, and the hotel defines old-fashioned class.

From the very beginning, Sean was very welcoming, and listened to exactly what we wanted, every meeting we had was very professional, and he always had time for us. On the wedding day itself, Sean was very enthusiastic, and always had an eye for detail in every situation. He turned up at my parent's house early in the morning and started photographing very special moments of myself and bridesmaid's getting ready. The outcome of the photograph's were amazing, they really captured the emotion of the day. The quality of his work did not lapse throughout the day, from the church ceremony to the evening reception; everything was approached with a subtle mix of a traditional and contemporary style. If you put your trust in Sean, he will deliver the most amazing photographs. We are both thrilled with the final products, the DVD slideshow set to music, was done with so much thought, and we can't wait to get our albums. We can't recommend Sean Elliott Photography enough!
