“We chose The Cat & The Peacock based on recommendations from friends and we’re glad we did. We spent two weeks exploring Switzerland by train, and I have to say, it was the trip of a lifetime. The Swiss trains were incredibly comfortable and the mountain scenery was over-the-top. We loved every hotel. The Swiss villages were straight out of a postcard, and the surprise champagne on our train was a nice touch too!
