Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and had an enormous comfy bed with gorgeous views of the garden fountain. The staff were very helpful and obviously took pride in the hotel. The location was stunning, especially on a sunny day, and it was perfect for a quiet stay. The dining experience was lovely, and the homemade cakes were a treat. Overall, a wonderful experience with just a few minor hiccups along the way.
The hotel boasts a wonderful view from the rooms, even though they needed a bit more cleanliness, some refurbishment, and attention to detail. The service was exceptional, with friendly and professional staff making the stay pleasant. However, the ongoing construction work nearby affected the overall location experience, and the dining options were limited. Despite these drawbacks, the lovely grounds and warm staff interactions stood out.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms were nice and spacious, but it was too hot, so I had to turn down the radiators. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat at the hotel on the first night due to the heat. The service had its ups and downs, with some organizational problems and poor communication, yet the staff did try to be helpful. The location was convenient for strolling around but suffered from excessive noise at night. The dining experience was average, with a standard buffet, and nothing too special. Overall, it was a decent stay but with some room for improvement.
The main building was beautiful, but the room was small, tired-looking, and lacked a wardrobe. Despite being spacious, the loud music until late was a nuisance. The staff were professional and warm, offering various amenities. Grounds were lovely for walks, but dining and sauna temperatures were subpar.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were pleasant but tired-looking, with some odd features. Service was accommodating but had a few hiccups. The location had both noisy and quiet aspects. Dining ranged from poor to exceptional quality. Overall, an average stay with room for improvement.
The hotel is cozy and comfortable, with friendly staff and a lovely location. The rooms were pleasant to stay in, though not extraordinary. The service was excellent, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The location was idyllic and convenient for our visit. The dining experience was a mix of good snacks and disappointing dinners. Facilities were enjoyable, with a lovely fireplace adding charm to the ambiance.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was comfortable, but it didn't quite fit the overall vibe of the hotel. The view from the room was uninspiring, looking out at the kitchen and what they optimistically call 'the rose garden'. The service was fantastic, everyone was so friendly and helpful. The location was beautiful, quiet, and relaxing, though a bit isolated. The dining experience was a letdown with a poor selection of breakfast items. Overall, it was a soul-less room but with lovely service in a pretty location.
