Thank you for such a memorable stay. The team arranged for my daughter and I to stay in an accessible room due to her leg injury and the use of a wheelchair without me having to request it. We loved our 2 night stay and will definitely be back. Reception staff also arranged for a lovely birthday card to be left in the room for my daughter, which was such a thoughtful touch. Staff were able to give great recommendations for things to do and places to eat nearby. We will definitely back for our next staycation!
