Hi Guys,
I have done my best to compile a list of hotels with in close proximity to our wedding venue. I have selected a variety of accommodation ranging from backpackers to five star luxury and everything in between in the hope of finding something suitable for everyone. You will notice that a number of listings are highlighted in purple. These are hotels that have been recommended to us by friends so could be worth checking out first. I have taken an excerpt from each hotel website to help you in making your choices as well as given an indication to price per night. Where possible I have added a picture or two as well. If anyone has any specific requirements when it comes to accommodation please let us know so that we can find you suitable accommodation.
