I had a wonderful stay at the Staincliffe, where the staff went above and beyond especially since it was our wedding meal. The room decor was stunning and made the occasion feel even more special. The dining experience at the in-house diner was fantastic with delicious steaks at great prices. However, the service wasn't as attentive as I hoped it would be during a busy wedding reception.
