Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers great rooms that are peaceful but a bit small, and the location is ideal for exploring the surrounding countryside. The dining experience is a mix of brilliant choices and areas for improvement. The service is top-notch, though housekeeping could be more proactive.
My daughter and I had a cozy stay at this hotel. The rooms were tidy and clean, though a bit on the small size for us. The restaurant was well-appointed with all the usual facilities and always clean.
The hotel had a few issues with the room being cold upon arrival and not having the expected double bed, but the spacious room with a feature window overlooking the grounds and the pond was beautifully done. The service was generally good, although housekeeping could have been better. Dining was a mixed experience with some nice aspects but also room for improvement. Overall, the hotel offers a unique and charming stay, especially for those attending events nearby.
