Individual guest reviews

10 / 10   When we arrived we were greeted with a warm reception. We were given suggestions for dinner and other things to do. The room was beautiful, well worth the money. Breakfast in the morning offered a very good selection of cereals etc. I was personally very impressed that the hotel, once they received my booking, phoned me to confirm and that they were looking forward to seeing us. No other hotel had done this, which i thought was a very personal touch.
