Testimonial

Our Wedding Day at Cliff at Lyons was one we will never forget. It all started so perfectly with myself and my sister waking to the sound of the resident Love Doves outside our window in the beautiful Shackelton House! Getting ready at the Lyons was such a treat... hair & makeup team on hand as well as the great waiting staff serving us breakfast, as we were pampered, was bliss! After the Church, we returned to Lyons for a gorgeous champagne reception in the courtyard and for our guests who had never been to Cliff at Lyons they were in complete awe of its charm and beauty. Everything about the day was magical, the reception room is so stunning that very little decoration is needed, a few simple flowers and table settings is all that's needed. I have to say that the staff were excellent; so friendly and efficient and compliments to the Chef on an amazing meal. If you are looking for something a little different I can't recommend Cliff at Lyons highly enough. A truly magical place for the best day of your life!

Cliff at Lyons is the ultimate wedding venue.

The staff made everything so easy - nothing was too much! Our DJ unfortunately didn't turn up which was extremely upsetting however Katie and the bar staff had this under control straight away and had a playlist set up instantly which ensured peopled still enjoyed the night and danced well into the early hours!

The venue is absolutely stunning and all our guests kept mentioning that it was a hidden gem!!

Gerard was amazing the night before and Day of - he was so attentive! "

It is the ultimate wedding venue, from the stunning grounds, accommodation and function rooms to the most friendly, happy and attentive staff. I genuinely could not recommend them enough. All of our guests were blown away by the picturesque surroundings and said the food was the best they ever had at a wedding. Each room has so much character and you just don't want to leave.

I would highly recommend any bride to stay the night before your wedding to ensure you get to enjoy the accommodation and venue to the fullest!

We were delighted with all the staff at the Cliff, in particular Amy, who planned everything really well and was really accomodating to requests in the lead up, and Gerard on the day was very flexible and professional. We couldn’t have been happier in the day itself, all our guests were really impressed with the surroundings, the quality of accommodation and the food was excellent. Thanks to all the staff who made our day really special.

CAL gave us a superb day for our wedding.

What we liked most about our experience with Cliff at Lyons was the quality of service. The help and friendliness of all the staff was amazing, and particularly the help from Amy and Gerry. The food was excellent.

All of our guests were really blown away

Paul and I are back from our honeymoon and still can't get over what a beautiful wedding day we had. Thank you Amy, and to all the staff at Lyons, for helping us put on such a brilliant event.

All of our family and friends -- especially those who had traveled from afar -- could not stop gawking at Cliff at Lyons. We heard positive comments about the Mill, the food, the staff, the grounds, the rooms -- people were really blown away!

We would like to extend a special thanks to Katie for looking after us on the actual day of the wedding. She was so sweet and attentive to us, and we hear she was also looking after our bridal party and family. Extra special thanks to her for calming me before the first dance :)

We'd be more than happy to recommend you to other couples.

I'm sure we'll be seeing you around the cafe again soon! Thank you, and all the best!

Staff - Amy and Gerard are simply amazing at what they do. They made us feel so comfortable and welcome at all times. All the staff are very natural and down to earth. Arranging a wedding from abroad this was important, I felt I could trust the staff each time I made contact. Thank you, you are awesome!!!

I cannot recommend the Cliff at Lyons enough for a wedding. The staff made us feel so welcome at all times, going out of their way to answer any questions and spend extra time on details where required. We organised our wedding from abroad and being able to trust in our venue with questions etc was really important. The venue always responded quickly and that really put us at ease. I cannot thank the Cliff at Lyons enough for what was a really special and wonderful day for us. Highly recommended in all aspects.
