Spoilt and upgraded.

On arrival at the hotel we were early and thought we would ask if we could leave our bags in luggage store so we didn`t have to carry it around until the 2pm check in time. We were so surprised when we were told our room was ready and we had been upgraded to a suite. Our room was huge and really comfortable. We also added breakfast for the duration of our stay. This was very tasty with lots on offer. After returning to our suite on the first day. There was a knock at the door and my husband was presented with an ice bucket containing Prosecco and two glasses to say happy birthday. We didn`t expect this at all. Thank you Thistle our stay was amazing....

Lovely stay - will be returning

Hotel went all out to make the start of our honeymoon special - processco, flowers, balloons, upgrade and 2 free breakfasts. Staff were really friendly - unfortunately didn`t get any names! My partner and I both said we`d love to stay again. One very slight let down was the fire alarm tests on the Monday morning when we were trying to relax. I understand these legal requirement but perhaps after check out would be better or just a heads up on check in. - thank you for a lovely stay!...
