“Great place to stay with kids”
The restaurant offered a tasty menu. The breakfests were delicious. The extra services in the wellness room (massage, reflexology) were very relaxing for both parents and kids.

“An amazing stay for the last night of our European adventure- we’ll be back!”
The mix of old and new in the decor was just right. Everything was spotlessly clean and a lot of thought had been put into ensuring high levels of comfort for guests. The food at dinner and at breakfast was outstanding- delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were very friendly.

“Highly recommended, will stay again.”
An excellent restaurant with rooms rather than the other way around in my opinion, but that is not a negative. Good location, very comfortable room, an excellent host, dog friendly and great breakfast.

Lack of facilities and welcome to the hotel plus. Late notice that restaurant was closed. Not much else to choose from In village
