We went to this hotel to get married with a group of 13 family members including 4 kids.



The hotel had just been closed for a couple of weeks for a refurb so there were only 45 guests to begin with which was great.

We are not experienced travellers as cannot afford it every year, so when we go away we expect a lot. This holiday did not disappoint in any way.
