Very Good
Christine from Caldicot
United Kingdom
Check-in date:
“ The Ailsa Craig was very good. The staff were very helpful & friendly, especially Christine on reception. Room was very comfortable. Breakfast was very acceptable. Only drawback was our rooms were up in the Gods, up lots of stairs - no lift. Very quiet location, lovely views especially the back gardens.
“ Top Tip: Very convenient for Playhouse Theatre. Loads of eating places close by. Try the Gurkha Brigade.
