Fourth visit and the improvement is fantastic!!

The Machrie always had the potential to be a top class hotel. This was my fourth visit and there has been a marked improvement which I put down to the management of the hotel provided by Another Place. Organisation, service and customer focus have all made great strides. This has moved The Machrie from having the potential to being a first class experience
