Top Britannia Bay Hotel Reviews

Gilcrest Place

Gilcrest Place

8/10 Good
"Check-in was a problem, as the place was locked up when we arrived. No answer on either of the phone numbers we were given. Eventually, with the help of a neighbouring property, they managed to track down the relevant person, who then unlocked and showed us to our room. The units was very beautiful, with a lovely view and gave a Greek island feel. Breakfast was served earlier on our request, but was rather on the skimpy side in my opinion."
