My stay at this hotel was truly delightful. The room I had, a superior double in room 210, offered a lovely dual aspect view onto the countryside, with a very comfortable bed and a great shower. The breakfast was excellent, cooked to order and delicious. The only minor issue was that the room felt slightly warm even when the heater was turned down, but it didn't affect my overall enjoyment.

My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were basic but really lovely, spotlessly clean, and very well-furbished, providing a more comfortable experience than many deluxe establishments. The lovely view over the fields added to the peaceful ambiance, and the excellent walk-in shower was beautiful and extremely easy to use, even in a wheelchair.

The staff were not only friendly but also extremely attentive throughout my stay. They went above and beyond, even paying for taxis to and from the nearest restaurant. A minor hiccup with invalid vouchers was quickly rectified with a generous gesture at checkout.
