fantastic visit
genuine happinessroom upgradekind gesturedry bacon
i was delighted with my experience. the staff showed genuine happiness in their service. my room was upgraded without me even asking, a wonderful surprise. they also provided towels for the beach which was a very kind gesture.
i noticed the scottish breakfast could use some improvement as the bacon was dry perhaps a tweak to the cooking process would help.
