Reviews

Two Night Romantic Hotel Break for Two including Breakfast I had a night away at the Glasgow Marriott with my friend and we had a great time!

We had drinks at the hotel using our 25 pound cheque that came with the experience and we also booked ourselves in for a couple of treatments with Golden Moments.

All in all - it was a great experience! Jayne Price
