The Open Arms Hotel is a welcoming, family-run hotel that offers a peaceful, respectful setting for funeral gatherings.

Our experienced team ensures arrangements are handled with care, discretion, and sensitivity.
We offer a large Marquee Room, with direct access to our internal courtyard gardens, providing a calm and dignified environment. The room can be arranged to suit your guests, with space for photographs, memorabilia and background music. (Up to 70 seats) We have 2 smaller rooms available on request.
