A Wedding Dream Realized

dream teamfriendly stafffantastic assistance
Oisin and Catherine became my dream team. They helped us. Any request we made was met with enthusiasm. The staff are indeed the friendliest I have encountered. Lisa provided fantastic assistance. We did not have to worry about anything. They oversaw every detail.
The room price was a little high. I wish I had rebooked at the lower rate available closer to our stay.
