disappointing stay
Place is more of a lodge than a hotel. Needs some maintenance... especially the bathrooms, did not feel comfortable! However nice garden setting. Also, I made a booking for 4 rooms to sleep a total of 9 adults and 3 kids two months prior which was paid for already. On the day of my check in I get called so say that I still have to pay for the kids!!! Felt like i was being held to ransom!

Disappointing
My room was much more "basic" than I expected from the pictures, and definitely not worth 3-stars as advertised. The hotel had no hot water during my stay, and I wasn't told that at check-in, they waited for me to discover it myself. Breakfast was good, but I won't be going back.

Great for a quick stay!
Beautiful location, rooms a bit dated, could have been cleaner, also they were very cold at night. Breakfast was a bit lacking in terms of quality, but was sufficient. The guy who checked us in could have been more welcoming, but the lady who did the checkout was lovely.

If the manager on duty the evening I booked in, could smile, I felt so unwelcome. At morning breakfast, I got the same cold reception from the lady doing the breakfast. Never again will you see me.
