    This quote was for my parents, they have just gone to book after previously being told the price was for two in total but have been informed the cost shown is EACH!!!! Therfore can anyone beat the price of £790 each please. Worringly the company tried putting them off this hotel stating over subscribed and could end up being moved. They tried to sell another hotel but the reviews were poor. Thanks
