Perfect Stay
Pros:

All was as we expected it to be - we will definitely use the same venue again in future.
We missed our first day, but we were allowed to stay one day longer - real good hospitality and friendly staff who assisted where they could.

Cons:

Staff to check that all utilities are inthe room like for example a kettle and the remotes for the air condioning sytem. Nothing serious though.
