Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of great experiences. The rooms are comfortable though small, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The location is fantastic but may be difficult to reach without a car. The dining is superb, and the facilities are well-maintained.
The hotel offers well-designed, comfortable rooms with convenient parking but is let down by the poorly maintained main building. The service is highly acclaimed, with friendly and helpful staff going above and beyond to enhance our stay. The beautiful location, a foodie heaven village, makes for a delightful stay. The dining experience is excellent, with tempting choices and delicious meals. The hotel facilities are top-notch, ensuring a pleasant and enjoyable visit overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was clean, nicely laid out, and well-presented, but I felt it was a bit overpriced at £160 per night considering it wasn't extremely special. The staff, however, were incredibly kind and friendly, and the food was superb, offering excellent comfort in the spacious and impeccably clean room.
