It was dusty and had cobwebs, the shower wasn't good and the beds were noisy and uncomfortable. The breakfast was ..."

"The stay was fabulous. The only disappointment--I had stated prior to our visit that it was to celebrate my wife's birthday. A little something in the room would have just added a special touch- as your telephone Advisor said you would probably do. Kind regards Dr Jason Greenwood"
