The hotel is nestled in a beautiful location by the river, providing a serene atmosphere. The rooms offer a delightful garden view and are elevated, allowing for great scenery, although some may find this a bit high. The service is attentive, with a nice touch of a welcome drink upon arrival. However, the dining experience lacks variety, especially in terms of chocolate muffins. The facilities are well-kept, but the value for money could be better considering the pricing.
