Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The Garden Room offered a lovely view of the garden with a seating area, and the hot bath was a perfect retreat. The value for money is excellent, especially when you get to enjoy a garden view from your room.
This hotel offers cozy rooms with lovely views on the garden and excellent service, set amongst beautiful gardens for a relaxing stay. However, the dining experience could be improved, and the bar area seating is not very comfortable.
