Reviews and Ratings
Arriving at the hotel was a bit cold, but once settled in, the room turned out to be exquisite with a jacuzzi bathtub and a lovely big comfy bed. The breakfast delivered to our room was a nice touch. However, the room felt stuffy at times. The service was helpful and friendly, making our night away enjoyable. The location, although picturesque and quiet, is a bit out of the city. The dining experience had a beautiful setting, but more menu choices would have been appreciated. Overall, a good value for money stay with some minor room comfort issues.
The hotel was in a picturesque location, very convenient to local attractions and easy to find, with an old church hosting breakfast. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, with a minor oversight of no dressing gowns. The service was genuinely lovely and went above and beyond to ensure a perfect stay. The dining experience in the old church restaurant was excellent, with a friendly and informative staff member overseeing everything.
The hotel had some nice aspects like clean rooms with good space but also had issues like stuffy rooms and unsuitable sofas. The service was friendly overall with some mishaps. The location was excellent for exploring the area. The dining experience had some hiccups. Facilities were adequate.
