Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in a serene location, surrounded by beautiful hills ideal for walks or mountain biking. The rooms offer a cozy retreat with crisp white linen and soft towels, although the presence of a single bed on the landing might not suit everyone's preferences. The service was exceptional, with attentive housekeeping and a pleasant welcome drink. Dining was a highlight, featuring extraordinary dishes, but certain eating areas may lack variety. The facilities cater to various needs, ensuring a delightful stay overall.
The hotel offers a cozy atmosphere with rustic charm and friendly staff. The location is ideal, providing easy access to local eateries and the town center. However, the dining options could be more varied, and the room setup might not suit everyone's preference.
My stay at the hotel was incredibly convenient due to its proximity to the local area and ideally close to the mountain. The rooms were comfortable and clean, offering crisp white linen and soft white towels. The staff was welcoming, including housekeeping and laundry services. However, the dining options were limited to sausages and fruit choices. The facilities were basic but adequate for a short stay. The overall value for money was decent.
