“The venue was spotless, and everything well planned. We were lucky enough to stay in one of the rooms, which was a great size and supplied with a bath and walk in shower. Both checking in and out went smoothly via reception.
All food, including the breakfast the following morning with very well cooked, and served in good time.” -
