I chose the Thistle Hotel as one of my relatives oftne used them and was always saying how great it was there.
We went down to the hotel and they provided us with our own wedding planner. She went through all the details of what we wanted She stayed in contacted with through all the months leading up to the wedding updating us on how things were going.
We were introduced to the chef you created us our own personal menu just for the wedding.
A large room was set out for us for the ceremony. The hotel staff had then set up a seperate room for the photos. We then went straight into another room for the reception.
Everything went perfect. A man called Richard worked there and his job was to ensure evrything went exactly as we wanted on the day. He was great. He kept the wole day running smoothly.
We had a lot of family coming from all over the country and hotel allowed us to prebook the rooms 3 months in advance to ensure everyone had somewhere to stay. We also got discounted rates for the rooms as there was so many of us.
We were given no set time leave the hotel. We stayed in the superior suite. This consisted of three rooms: bedroom, lounge and bathroom.
The rooms were very clean and tidy, and reception even called to ensure everything was ok.
Other Facilities: Heated pool jacuzzi gym sauna sunbeds
Overall the whole weekend was great. The venue was fantastic and the whole thing ran smoothly and I put most of this down to the friendly and helpful staff.
Only used one Thistle and that was in Manchester, would like to have seen more info on prices, food etc - rack rates and the rate you paid are a good starting point, as it gives an indication to the reader of possibilities etc.

Also, while I think about it you should also include how many hotels they have across the country, where are they situated (e.g. most big towns etc...) and how many rooms do they tend to have.
