I have no idea what David does for a living, but he would do very well as a boutique hotelier! David was v friendly and helpful when we were arranging key collection beforehand, and was v hospitable and attentive (without being at all intrusive) on arrival and departure. Chateau Mendez was easy to find (a few minutes' walk from Kent House railway station), clean, quiet, tidy, comfortable and really rather stylish. Highly recommended.
