Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers pleasant and clean rooms with nice views, though they may not be considered superior. The service is great, with helpful and friendly staff. The location is colorful, just outside a beautiful village, ideal for walkers. The dining experience is lovely, with some exceptional options. Overall, a charming and cozy spot.
My stay at the hotel was overall fantastic. The rooms were pleasant and clean, with good facilities and new decor. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant, and the breakfast was excellent. However, the room was extremely hot despite the outside temperature being 15 degrees, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were excellently decorated, clean, and perfectly sized, although a bit cold due to a minor heating issue, easily resolved with the provided electric heater. The service was top-notch, with knowledgeable and attentive staff. The location, though a bit difficult to access, offered amazing full English breakfasts just outside a beautiful village. The dining experience was mostly delicious with a slight delay in service. Overall, a great value for money.
