There are a few errors (82) in the CSS if you validate using the CSS validator (W3C). I don't know if this means that different browsers will interpret it differently.

Worth a try. Out of all the errors, there was 1 genuine end of div missing. 2 are non problems and all the rest were dashes inside my comments, which are strictly not allowed.

Just noticed that on one iPhone browser, the booking tab has a submenu of rates/availability etc but on iPad (mini) Safari the submenus aren't there - it just goes to the contact us screen.

I don't have an iphone, but tried a few emulator sites.

This one (safari?) seems to show up without the menu so may be useful for testing.

Unfortunately, all of these "simulators" only adjust the display size and cannot emulate either the hardware or the browser application. In this case, no menu appears in the simulator for any of the mobile sizes, which does not reflect what actually happens.

It was worth a try though and I tried a few myself yesterday.

I think Newtimber has identified the problem with the HTML validation. There was indeed one genuine error where an end tag was missing. This obviously caused no problems for the majority of platforms and browsers but failed on the iphone 5 with Safari.

I'll now go and check the other pages!

Thanks for your help guys. Handy having a team of testers :D

Iphone 6, IOS8. Safari browser,

no menu, just the front page, one owl in green header Email link and phone number, then block text in green/white background.
with copyright info etc on the footer.

Tap the owl, and the page re-loads, but no menu.

Phone link works on Iphone, email link works with IOS Mail.

I've not changed anything. I tried to hire a developer who would have access to a few iphones but none could reproduce the problem or were interested. Kind of annoying that only one phone with one browser causes an issue.
