I would like to thank you and your team for such a wonderful day last Saturday. Everything was just perfect as I’d imagined. We were all taken with the room. The service we received was second to none. I won’t deny at the beginning when Lucy left i had some reservation. You came up trumps though. Please pass on to your staff how wonderful they were they all deserve credit and thanks. I will be very happy to recommend the hotel to other friends. Thank you so much again.
