Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with massive double beds that are very cozy, although the carpets are slightly stained. The staff provides excellent service, and the location is convenient for exploring the area. However, the dining options may have limited choices. Overall, it's a good value for the price.
The hotel is located in an isolated area, offering clean and comfortable rooms. The service is top-notch with welcoming receptionists and excellent spa staff. The dining options cater to various tastes, although the rural setting might not suit everyone's preferences.
This hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit of a mixed bag with a modern bathroom but musty old furniture. There were other bedrooms nearby, and it could get noisy with children around. The service, however, was excellent, accommodating our request for non-feathered bedding due to allergies and providing top-notch service. The location was a bit secluded but still in the area I wanted to be in. The dining experience was good with quality options, but the past for plates was a letdown. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel offers rooms with all usual amenities, including hot beverage facilities and biscuits, and a quiet view to the rear. The service was a mix of exemplary customer care and some mishaps in locating certain items. The location had both positive and negative aspects, situated in a desired area but with some shabby spots. The dining provided various options, with standout dishes like the best croissants. The facilities were sufficient, though presenting some issues with mold in certain areas.
