Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfy and very clean rooms with the best shower experience. The staff provides excellent service, and the location is fantastic with brilliant views. The dining options are fabulous, with gluten-free choices available. However, the ambient of the location is somewhat basic. The facilities are beautiful and the price is value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with stunning views of the gardens and surrounding scenery from my second-floor room, despite the bit of a climb. The beds were very firm, but the overall experience was memorable.
I was thrilled with the hotel's location, which was perfect for dining either with or without my dogs, offering spacious and immaculately presented rooms with their own balconies providing stunning views down the valley. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and spacious, overlooking the river and gardens. However, the bar area did not feel welcoming due to excessive lighting, contrasting with the cozy coffee shop ambiance near the fireplace.
