Customer Testimonials
From the start right through, everything ran well. The ferry over was good with a swift check In. Both the courses were absolutely fantastic and will definitely be looking at returning to them. Accommodation was ideal in a good location and not too far from the courses. Thanks again Brittany ferries for a fantastic trip.
