Hi Ashlea

Just an e-mail to say thanks…the jet lag has finally worn off and we are getting back to reality now!!!

The wedding was truly perfect and we just had the best day. Just want to thank you and all at Rowton who worked on the day – all the staff were fantastic and everything went just perfectly

Everyone commented on what a great venue Rowton is and how beautiful the whole place is. We just wish we could do it all over again now!!! 

Great memories were made anyway and we loved every second of it

Thank you again for everything, you really were great considering we were doing everything through e-mails with us being here in Australia!
 

Take care 

 

Many thanks again

Hi Ashlea

I know Jan spoke to you this morning but I did not manage to see you other than to say hello.

Thank you so much for helping our wedding to go absolutely perfectly on the day.

We could not have asked for a better day it really was perfect and many people also commented on how good it was and how nice the hotel was.

The rooms, the meals, the service, the bar staff, everything was really good so thank you so much.

I would also ask you to personally thank Keith our Master of Ceremony on the day. He was simply brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. He really is a Star !!

Once again thanks very much from both of us and all the guests.

Regards

Brian and Jan Carman

Dear Sir

 I visited the Hotel Spa on Saturday 1st October. This was a personally arranged family visit with my mum and cousin.

 The day lived up to my expectations-I had visited personally with a group of colleagues from school, but it was a perfect day for my mum and cousin. My cousin’s visit was from Irelandfor the weekend, as she was celebrating her 50th birthday. This was just mentioned to staff in conversation at the beginning of the day. Imagine the delight when lunch was served with an extra platter of tiny desserts and chocolate icing “Happy 50th Birthday”.  This was not only thoughtful, but the most perfect example of customer care. My cousin will never forget her day and I will advertise the Spa everywhere.

Please commend the staff for excellent service.

Yours faithfully

To the Manager and all the staff at Rowton,

 

A huge thank you for all your hard work.  The day passed without a hitch, thanks largely to you .  Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.  The food was excellent – in fact the day couldn’t have gone better

 

Many, many thanks

 

Janet and Paul Chadwick

22ndAugust Dear Sir My husband and I wish to congratulate you and your staff on the splendid occasion you gave us at the celebrations of Mr & Mrs Christopher Mitchell on their wedding day, Friday 12thAugust. Everything was just perfect and certainly my husband and I and all our family and friends were most impressed with the organization and helpfulness and politeness of your staff, which made our stay so enjoyable. At our age weddings are a rare event to attend, funerals are more on the agenda these days. Having learned of the tragedy one of your young staff suffered on that day, just before you were all to host the guests, Mr Hole and I would like to congratulate you all for not for one moment marring our enjoyment of the occasion. That shows real guts and maturity on the part of your young staff as well as the sensitive handling of the situation yourself. Thank you and please pass on our thanks and congratulations to your staff.

Wishing you and Rowton Hall every success in the years ahead.

 

Our Best Wishes

 

Michael & Pamela Hole

 

To all the staff at Rowton Hall

 

We would like to thank you for making our daughters and her new husbands wedding day so memorable on 6th August. The Hewitt and Churchill families thought the venue was perfect and the staff very attentive and professional. We would like to mention Mr Keith Langton in particular for the way he supervised all of the proceedings. His waiting on staff were very polite and very careful.

 

The bride and groom, Roger and Charlotte had a lovely service at St James Church in Christleton followed by a lovely reception. What a wonderful start to their marriage.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Susan and Keith Churchill

Dear Tony O’Hare

 

I am writing to say thank you so much for making Chris and Alex’s wedding so special. I was at a party last night where the wedding was being discussed and a friend said “and of course Rowton Hall was perfect” and I think that says it all.

 

I know Alex and Chris knew it was perfect from the moment they came to look round and the friendly but professional way all of the preparations were handled only confirmed first impressions.

 

The hotel was the perfect setting for a wedding and the exclusive use package suited our guests’ needs. The food was great, especially when catering for such large numbers.

 

BUT the greatest asset you have is your staff, they were tremendous. They were so friendly and obliging and yet kept the whole day moving like clockwork. They were all fabulous no matter what their role was but I would particularly like to thank Victoria and Keith who were so professional with such a friendly and light touch. So many guests commented on the quality of the staff.

 

Thank you so much for your contribution to our special day.

Dear Ashlea,

Kind regards,

To All the Staff and Management at Rowton Hall,

 

We could not possibly begin to thank you all enough for the wonderful care and attention you gave to everyone on our wedding day recently. From our first visit to you to the moment we checked out the service was one of pure excellence. Nothing was too much for any of your staff and an extra special thank you must go to Keith for his professional handling of the whole day. Every single guest commented on the beautiful surroundings, fantastic food and welcoming hospitality. You all made our speical day even more special, absolutely perfect. Needless to say we will definitely recommend you to everyone and look forward to celebrating Christmas with you this year.

 

With warmest regards to you all

Jean & Peter Sumner

 We are writing to tell you what a fantastic wedding reception we had at the hotel on Saturday 5th March. From the moment we arrived on the Friday evening to meet with family we were treated with outstanding service from all the staff that we encountered. We were made to feel very special, as if we were the only wedding party to ever be there. We were absoultly thrilled with the way the Ballroom looked and we greatly appriciated all the effort that was put into making it look so stunning. We have to say a special thank to Kurt and Keith for their undivided attention towards us and for the smooth running order of the day, these two are an absolute credit to the hotel and we can’t speak highly enough of the both of them! I must also say thank you to Ashlea for all her help and patience with me!

 

Please pass on our thanks ad appreciation to all the staff at Rowton Hall, who helped make our day so special.

Hi Ashlea & Victoria

I thought I would drop you a quick email to thank you for the service that you provided last night. The client (Chris Craft & Alex Smith) seem to be very pleased with the service you offered and the standard of food.

They also have said in terms of discussion and productiveness of the dinner – this has been the best one so far. 

I look forward to working with you again in the future

 

Kindest Regards

I am writing on behalf of all the ICE delegates to thank you and everyone at Rowton Hall Hotel for all your assistance, which contributed greatly to the success of our Study Period. The accommodation was most comfortable, the food was delicious and the location was ideal! Everyone was most helpful, which made my job as organiser very much easier!

My wife and I would like to thank you and your staff for all you did last Saturday (19th) to make our daughter’s wedding day such a memorable occassion. Everything went like clockwork and everyone commented what a wonderful place your hotel was. The food and service were fantastic and you even arranged for the sun to shine! We can’t thank you enough for leaving us with such happy memories of a wonderful day. Thank you once again.

Best Wishes

14th March 2011

I decided to celebrate my birthday (I won’t mention which one!) last Saturday by inviting family and close friends to join me for dinner, which I booked in your elegant Adams Room. All the preparations were planned and co-ordinated with Ashlea who was absolutely wonderful throughout-patient, understanding and with gentle advice which proved to be perfect. My only concern was that it was all going to be a bit ‘formal’ and posh …….

 How wrong could I be! We started the evening with drinks in the bar from which time Keith gently took over proceedings and the whole evening was just perfect. The whole atmosphere created was so welcoming, warm, friendly whilst being totally professional. The service and overall personal touch which was orchestrated by Keith was outstanding. Everything seemed to flow so easily, the food was delicious, drinks were always replenished, nothing was too much trouble and every detail was so thoughtfully carried out-including the arrival of my cake (and then cutting and bringing it round with coffee). 

My particular thanks to Ashlea and Keith-you have two outstanding and very loyal employees, and thanks to you for sharing your wonderful ‘home’ with me and my family-becuase that’s how we felt.

Kind regards

Linda Smith

Dear All staff at Rowton
 
We would like to say a massive thank you to you all for making our wedding day so perfect. We loved Rowton from our first visit there and have always been impressed with the quality and level of service that the staff provide.
On our actual wedding day the staff excelled themselves. From the buffet the evening before our wedding to checking out the morning after the wedding we could not fault a thing.
All our guests commented on their beautiful hotel rooms and all the beautiful food.
 
Special thanks to Victoria and Ashlea for all their help leading up to the wedding and to Keith who was absolutely fantastic on the day.
Thank you all very much.
 
Kind Regards

I just wanted to say a hugh thank you to Keith and his team for contributing to Zoe and Pauls very special day on February 18th. The standard of service was exceptional and I have had nothing but favourable comments from friends and guests. The Ballroom looked fantastic-thanks to everyone who got it finished-just in time! It was such a pleasure to deal with constantly smiling and friendly staff-even on Saturday morning!

Thanks again

I have just got back from staying over at the hotel last night with my girlfriend. I would like to say we had a great time and we’d like to thank the staff who were so kind and friendly to us as we did feel out of place at first because we are a young couple and have never been to a hotel like yours before. We will definatley be returning soon.

Thanks once again

Jamie and Steph

 

Please say thank you to the restaurant and bar staff who served lunch on Tuesday 8th Feb. I brought twelve guests for a birthday party and all of us were impressed with the care and attention shown. I felt quite smug on being congratulated on such organisation when I didn’t do a thing!

Many Thanks

Dear Tony

Just a note to thank you very much for putting our minds at rest re all thew edding arrangements at our meeting on Saturday and for arranging the tasting for all of us on the Sunday. Please pass our thanks onto Ashlea for giving up her holiday to come in and meet Heidi and Leith. We all really appreciated that.

We look forward to meeting you both again sometime in April, when Heidi and Leith are up.

With our best wishes

John (aka Tom!) & Glennis  

 

During the night of Sunday 6th February, my fiancee and I were evacuated from our home by the fire service due to an electrical fire. I spent almost an hour calling numerous, local hotels to try and find emergency accommodation for us and our 2 small dogs. I was met with various, unhelpful responses. However, from the moment I called Rowton Hall I was given excellent help and customer service. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch the staff members name but hope he receives this thanks. Not only did stay late to wait for our arrival but he was brilliantly sympathetic regarding our situation and his service was second to none.

We will definitely be returning to Rowton Hall (hopefully under better circumstances!) again, HUGE thanks to the gentleman who served us that evening!

16th December 2010

The party night was excellent, food and company was good. The service, as always, to a high standard. We do take advantage of the members offer and have dinner in the restaurant occasionally and we have always enjoyed the food. It was a pity there weren’t more members there, however the other parties were friendly and didn’t feel out of place.

Special thanks to Tony for making us feel welcome on arrival.

Best wishes for a great Christmas

Just a big ‘Thank you’ from the mother of the bride to be in June 2012. The visit today with my daughter and fiance to sort out their wedding was a good day. Thanks for your time and really great experience and I am sure their wedding day will be great.

Just a little note to say a big THANK YOU!!! for the fantastic time we had at Rowton Hall Hotel. A sign of a great hotel is when you can’t see the staff, but they were always on hand, extremely helpful and polite. We had a lovely meal, a lovely breakfast and great time in the spa. The room was a fabulous surprise (and Champagne).

Please extend our thanks to your staff!!! Can’t say thank you enough.

7th September

Last week we spent our silver wedding anniversary at your hotel (31st August). We just wanted to say a big thank you. It was the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in. This is for a number of reasons. It was luxurous yet had that “family run” friendly atmosphere. The staff where friendly and attentive. The hotel was very clean and well equipped. The food was superb. And we were thrilled to have a complimentary upgrade to the Fairfax Suite. We wished we lived nearer by so we cuold visit often.

In this day and age people are only too quick to comlpain, so we felt we should let you know what a great time we had. Thank you all.

Mr & Mrs Smythe

Dear Victoria

Just to confirm our conversation last evening, our Ruby Anniversary Luncheon was a huge success and everyone was full of praise for the smooth running of the event and the delightful meal.  The staff courtesy and attention to detail was appreciated (It brought back happy memories of our wedding reception at Rowton Hall 40 years ago!).

Please convey my wife’s and my thanks to the chef.

Once again, thank you personally for your courteous organisation of the luncheon.

Best wishes,

Subject: Clare and Niall King’s Wedding on Saturday 30 July 2011

As Clare’s mum I would like to say thank you so very much for making Clare and Niall’s wedding day so perfect. The weather was great and your wonderful hotel sparkled in the sunshine.

The wedding reception room was beautiful. The meal was great (although as I was rather nervous before my speech so I did not get to eat all of the meal).

The bedrooms were lovely – each one different and individual with everything that you needed.

A special thank you has to go to Ashley for her patience, calm demeanour and good humour throughtout the lead up to the wedding. Also to Keith for his magnificient organisational skills on the day and for his support prior to me giving my speech which was a bit nerve racking.

Thank you to Tony and all the staff who were courteous, helpful and attentive.

All in all Saturday was the most marvellous day and Rowton played a big part in this and we will all be left with very happy memories.

Thank you

Mary MacMahonI
