“Thanks to the team at Stoke by Nayland Resort our conference was a huge success. We hosted a conference with over 300 delegates booked in their Devora Suite with the Gainsborough Bar and Constable Suite for our networking and lunch area. The team at Stoke by Nayland were always there to help from the initial planning/enquiry stage all the way through to the delivery, offering enthusiastic advice help and support throughout. The food was delicious and the venue itself was beautiful, in a wonderful setting and was the ideal location for our conference with it being a short distance from the A12. The events team were very responsive throughout the planning process and kept us up to date with any changes and were very accommodating to all our needs, we even had a car brought into the Gainsborough Bar for d conference! I would highly recommend S Resort.”
