“unaccommodating”

Written on: 06/05/2013

The setting of Boreham House is beautiful but the owner is not the friendliest person you'll ever meet. I felt uneasy about asking questions or raising issues because of the way they responded. Not the best experience. On the plus side the maitre d' and his team were lovely. (read more)

“Great venue, terrible service”

Written on: 11/06/2012 by J11911A (1 review written)

We had a wonderful wedding here, everything went well, the venue complimented the day perfectly. However, nine months down the line, we are yet to see a penny of our deposit returned (dry hire) and are having to go through the courts to get this back. It has soured the memory somewhat. (read more)

This is the same review as before the only reason deposits are not returned is if damage is caused and in this case it was

Written on: 06/01/2011 by ssingh79 (1 review written)

I had my indian wedding here over a year ago and am still waiting for my deposit to be returned. Have called and e-mailed numerous times with no response from Teresa, which I have been promised numerous times by Claire, Linda, Natalie and Abbey. I'm having to go through the small claims court to get it back (I wasn't notified of any damage, so return should be simple). Also during preparations we were misinformed multiple times about where we could have the indian ceremony, within the house,... (read more)

Just to let you know that this was a complete dry hire a hire of the space only and unfortunately we had several problems at this wedding. We were not co-ordinating this wedding and the reason the deposit was not returned was because there was malicious damage this had never happened before remember there are always two sides to a story

It is true it was a dry hire. However, in all the correspondence from that time, which I still have, there was no mention of damage (malicious or otherwise). I can only therefore presume that this is untrue. Surely if there was any damage I would have been notified and told about the reduced sum I would receive from the deposit.

In truth I received the full deposit plus interest, after claiming in the small claims court. I'm sure this would not have been the case, had there been any true damage.

I can understand you are trying to negate any negative PR, however it seems ridiculous to do this by fabricating damage that was never done,

I would be interested in any correspondence that you have from the time that mentions it, because as I said I don't have any that even mentions it.
