Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms, while small, are nicely decorated with character, although lacking some practical amenities. The friendly service and superb location with stunning views make up for any minor inconveniences.
The hotel offers a mix of experiences, from rooms with poor lighting and old-fashioned furniture to a superior room with fabulous views and a huge bathtub. The service was good with excellent staff, though lacking in sociability. The location is idyllic for walks and close to nearby attractions. Dining was tasty but with small portions. The facilities overall were satisfactory.
The hotel is a lovely retreat tucked away in a delightful village with luxurious, cozy rooms and friendly service. While the dining experience exceeded expectations, some may find better value for money elsewhere.
