I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room was tiny for two adults and lacked space, the open shower offered a lovely view of a nearby castle. The service was very friendly and obliging, even accommodating my specific medical needs. The location was perfect for a relaxing break with beautiful views and easy access to explore the surrounding areas. The dining experience, although good, lacked variety in breakfast options.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were lovely and cosy, with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the surrounding countryside was stunning to watch. The only downside was that the shower was a bit cramped, but overall, it was perfectly adequate, very clean, and tidy.
