    Hello, we stayed with you last July and are planning to visit you again this July, we loved the hotel. The only small downside was that gluten free cereal or bread was not available at breakfast, and for a 4* hotel I did find that surprising, will any gluten free products be available this year. Many thanks
    Dear Guest, Thank you for your query, Please advise in advance your diet requirements and your stay and the Chef will take care of heving it available for your stay Looking forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back Yours Truly Carla
