Bad Points
General Comments
Scaitcliffe Hall, Todmorden, Lancashire, is a beautiful building.
Quite attractive but plain gardens - altough it was winter when we visited. Still, it could be made more of for wedding photos. Needs information about the bedroom accommodation which isn't included in your ratings chart. Drab reception area needs life bringing into it.
The carpeting in main reception/stairway is threadbare and poorly fitted, in need of replacing. If this is the standard in the public area what might be surmised of the accommodation?
No images of standard bedrooms (other than the bridal suite, which we found to be well kempt when we visited) on the website which implies there might be something to hide.
Overall it looks like an injection of money is needed to raise it from the tired feeling it projects, as it doesn't match up to the "premier wedding venue" status it has been given.
This issue is important when assessing the venue for wedding guests who wish to stay overnight.
