Reviews and Ratings
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.
This hotel is a gem with mesmerizing garden views and a lovely high perspective from the bedroom. The service is top-notch, and a warm welcome drink awaits you. While the location is idyllic by the river, the dining experience offers delicious savory pies. However, some facilities might require improvement, and the value for money could be reconsidered.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with a high bedroom offering a view overlooking the beautiful garden. The easily opening windows allowed me to enjoy the garden view right from my room. The experience was top-notch, but there were some minor drawbacks.
