Fun Facts

We asked Kevin:

Where is your favourite hotel in the world and why?

What’s your favourite country in the world and why?

Australia with the varied climate and landscapes, outdoor lifestyle, and laid-back culture with great adventures. I’m not a lover of the British weather!

My family are my greatest achievement. We have four amazing children who give us so much pride in all that they do.
