Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms had a really nice touch despite some being a bit 'dated,' and they could use a little tender loving care on the small details. On the upside, they were fantastic, very clean, and well presented. The staff members were brilliant, accommodating, and friendly, even during a busy wedding reception. The location was excellent, full of natural beauty, and the local people were kind and welcoming. As for the dining experience, it was perfect and really sustained us throughout the day.
The hotel is well located for sightseeing and exploring the surrounding areas, though it became a little crowded. The rooms were not the cleanest due to unattached carpet segments, and the constant noise from extractor fans near the kitchen was disruptive for a special occasion like my partner's 50th birthday.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with some room quirks but great views from the patio. The service is friendly but lacks some professionalism. The location is beautiful, especially for touring around, and the dining is nice but not piping hot. The facilities are adequate for a pleasant stay.
