The hotel is located in a beautiful landscape, surrounded by fields and forests and close to the river. An ideal base for rafting. The room is basic, but tastefully decorated. Good breakfast and friendly staff who went out of their way to serve us a delicious ice cream on a hot day long after dinner hours. Thank you!

Beautiful location. The main building is over 200 years old, and the breakfast in the old dining room is exceptional.

The location was very good, there were no disturbances and complete peace around the property. All the amenities were available and kitchen and living area was great to relax. Good for even kids to come and play, ample space in the shared places.
