We stayed at this beautiful hotel for our honeymoon and pat and John went above and beyond for us. They bought us a bottle of bubbly and put up some banners in our room which was a surprise to us. Each morning we had cereal or fresh fruit along with cooked breakfast and tea or coffee and they both know the area very well and recommended places for us to visit each day which was a great help will definitely be staying here again the rooms are spotless.and your room is serviced each day aswell again many thanks for making our stay a brilliant one
