It was such good value, I can see why RF chose you as the prize. Good luck to you all— we hope to see you again sometime.

A lovely stay. Food very nice. Staff very polite and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Miss Martin and Mr Allsop,

IOW

May I, on behalf of my husband and my friends say what a wonderful place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our four days with you. All the staff were so friendly. The rooms were excellent, clean and comfortable and the food was superb. With my husband being disabled, we are unable to holiday very much and when we do, we expect a good standard. Your hotel was better than some 4 star hotels we have stayed in. The first time we have had comfortable chairs in the bedroom, or seen the extra pillows in plastic wallets. We could not fault you at all and we will certainly recommend you to our friends. I have also told our Travel Agents too. We understand that you took over in March and so wish you well for the future. Who knows, we may be able to come back. Grateful thanks.
