Dear JosephBlggs, thank you for posting such a lovely review. Unfortunately the first floor does get hot in the summer time due to the thickness of the corridor walls; this is something that we are looking into. I will pass your kind comments regarding staff, food, accommodation and entertainment at my next team meeting. Hope to see you again soon,... More
