          “We just wanted to thank you for a lovely funeral tea on Friday. 

           Thankfully the numbers worked out just fine and everything was beautifully organised.  The food was very good, particularly the scones and shortbread!

           The funeral all went well despite the hideous weather and it was very nice to finish at the hotel.  We think Dad would have been pleased with the way it all went.

           Thank you for all your help.”

          The funeral tea yesterday was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for making a difficult time so easy to organise. The staff were brilliant, attentive and really kind and the Deeside suite was beautiful. The hotel looked stunning and really festive with the Christmas decorations and we took the opportunity to capture lovely family photos beside the big tree at the foot of grand staircase and fireplace. 

          Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to everyone involved on Thursday. thank you
