Guest Testimonial 

This is the fourth time I have stayed at Harvey's Point this time as part of a group of nearly seventy classic car enthusiasts from all over the world. As one of the organisers one is always keen to ensure that everyone is happy with their room their food and the general ambience.At Harvey's point one has no worries or concerns absolutely everything is taken care of by the wonderful staff under General Manager Noel Cunningham. They are experts at surprising and delighting their guests by the extraordinary levels of service and all done with happy smiley faces.
Several of our well travelled group who do not issue compliments easily told me that this was the best hotel they had ever stayed in. This leaves me with a huge problem as next years car tour has to be in England where on earth am I going to find an Hotel that is in the same league as Harvey's Point! Long may they reign supreme.
