Dear BarbsD Thank you for the review of your stay at the Cedars Hotel. Its nice to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay with us and found all our staff members nice and friendly - we try to go that extra mile to ensure our guests feel welcomed at the hotel. On another note I am sorry that the secondary double glazing proved to be an issue for you but it does help to reduce noise from outside. However,we are due to have a major refurbishment in the New Year and this should eradicate any problems with opening the windows. We hope to welcome you back to the hotel in the future. Kindest regards

Dear manstondrive Thank you for your review of your stay with us and we are happy that it was all good! We are in the process of introducing a new Breakfast menu and although muesli is not included we are adding a homemade Granola as many guests seem to prefer this. So I do hope that you will come and stay with us again. Kindest regards
