Perfect in every way

10.0

We last visited this property 14 years ago and were concerned that it would not live up to our fond memories of it. However, it surpassed every expectation. The attention to detail, friendliness and caring of the staff, cleanliness and facilities throughout are exceptional for a small boutique hotel. Nothing was too much trouble and done with a smile. Even down to our car being cleaned each morning. My wife celebrated her birthday here and due to unforeseen circumstances we could not celebrate her special day that day. So the following morning and to our surprise the staff brought her breakfast, formed a choir and broke into song, delivering her birthday cake the following morning. We had family in a much more expensive hotel around the corner and Lairds beat them hands down.

What did we not like? Nothing!!!
