a recent experience of booking the Coppleridge for a wedding I am afraid its former well-earned reputation is in decline since the new owners took over.
The accommodation was mediocre , the food over cooked and dry, service absolutely horrendous with inappropriately dressed staff, long waits for drinks and rude responses to requests of staff.
Although the bride and groom had a wonderful day this was not because of the venue staff, facilities or catering, it was in fact in spite of them and due to a very conscientious and aware group of guests.
To top it all when a polite request was made to discuss the observations the manager became irate, aggressive, and argumentative and was openly cursing as guests were leaving the following morning. Some guests stated they feared it would get violent and extracted themselves to avoid confrontation.
We shall not be venturing near the venue under its current management and would urge all who wish a pleasant experience to do the same
