  Traveler•Written January 2026
  Our preference is to have 2 interconnecting rooms where possible. If this isn't available then please could we have an arrangement of a double and 2 single beds in a family room? If the arrangement is 2 doubles, then could you request 2 single duvets for one of the doubles and we will put something down the middle between them!
