Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with comfy and clean rooms, friendly service, and a beautiful location. However, some areas needed improvement like the decor and dining options. The picturesque setting and excellent breakfast were definite highlights of my visit.
The hotel is located in a pretty village, offering stunning views and pleasant dining options nearby. The rooms, although small, are cozy, clean, and have a nice view, yet the supplied chairs are not very comfortable for all guests. The service was a mix of helpful and cheerful encounters alongside some rude and abrupt interactions. The location is great for outdoor activities and dining options abound, creating a lively atmosphere. The dining experience provided a good service quality with a variety of self-serve options, yet lacked rich and healthy breakfast varieties found in other places. The hotel's facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was just what I needed; the rooms were much bigger than expected in the twin budget room and incredibly clean and comfortable. The service was top-notch with the staff going above and beyond to accommodate my last-minute request for early check-in for a friend's wedding. The location, despite being close to a road, was stunningly beautiful and quiet, perfect for a brief stop-over. The dining experience was good, with impeccable service and decent food options. Overall, a great value for the money.
