Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a mix of comfort and disappointment. The rooms offer a pleasant view but lack basic facilities like tea/coffee making. Service is warm and welcoming, especially from the General Manager, but the location can be exhausting and dull with poor mobile signal. The dining experience stands out positively, particularly at The Brassiere. Overall, a decent stay with some highs and lows.
The hotel offers friendly service and thoughtful touches but falls short on room size and modern updates. Despite the rooms being basic and needing an update, the service stands out with staff going above and beyond to make the stay special. The location provides a peaceful and tranquil setting for a good night's sleep.
The hotel's beautiful grounds and spacious rooms with a lovely touch were particularly welcome. The attentive service added to our experience, especially the amazing Spa treatment, although some inconsistencies were noted compared to traditional standards. The location offered a positive and enjoyable stay, surrounded by a glorious big park with various activities. The dining experience provided a good buffet spread, although an additional charge for breakfast may not suit all guests.
