Reviews and Ratings
I had the pleasure of staying in the largest hotel room ever with 6 beautiful windows that offered stunning views. The room had character in line with the building, which added to the overall experience. While the dining was unique and memorable, it fell short in terms of value for money.
The hotel offered beautiful, clean rooms with lovely views over the front garden. The staff provided excellent service, always pleasant and professional. The location was exquisite, surprisingly quiet despite being adjacent to the expressway, and the dining experience was amazing. However, the price may not be ideal for some, and there were limited pet amenities available.
The hotel offers both beautiful rooms with all the expected features of a 5-star hotel and excellent service where the staff truly goes the extra mile to look after you. The location is exceptional for walks and hikes, with meticulously maintained surroundings, but the dining experience may not justify the price. The hotel facilities are top-notch, ensuring a luxurious stay.
