Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a great view and easy access for guests with disabilities. The service was attentive, particularly from the receptionist, though there were some issues with table arrangements during breakfast. The location is tranquil, set in a picturesque village. The dining experience provided a variety of options, with the exception of poorly done toast. The facilities were well-kept overall.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. The location was superb, and the pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable. The overall pricing was fair, but the separate Wi-Fi charge was a slight drawback.
The hotel offers stunning countryside views from the recently refurbished rooms with excellent bathrooms. The service was a bit erratic with some moving around but particularly good receptionist service. Located in a peaceful area but a bit far from urban areas. The dining experience was varied but had some cold toast issues. The facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers a stunning view out over the main entrance, making it easy for those with disabilities to access. The service is exceptional, especially from the receptionist, though there were some hiccups with table assignments during meals. The location, nestled in a picturesque village on a hill, is peaceful and ideal for a relaxing retreat. The dining experience, with a variety of cooked and 'continental' options, was enjoyable despite minor shortcomings. The facilities are well-maintained and contribute to a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel has a great view and the rooms are recently refurbished with easy access for disabilities. However, the service was inconsistent, and the dining experience had some issues. The location in a picturesque village was peaceful and charming.
