Lovely village and very large pleasant lounge. Bus stop directly outside hotel

Sonya Austria

Breakfast was very good. Staff was very friendly. Sophia at the front desk was wonderful, very helpful.

Timothy United States of America

Everything about the hotel was excellent but the staff were exceptional, friendly and extremely accomodating,. One friend said that he had stayed in many far more expensive hotels but never stayed in one with better service. The reception staff were very helpful and replied promptly to our email!s when making the bookings for a large group and were very understanding when we were a little noisy in the lounge. When making the beds in one room the housekeeping staff arranged a toy lobster that was there reclining on the bed with his claws behind his head, a nice touch of personality. The restaurant staff really went out of their way to accommodate individual food requests even providing some items not on the menu and changing items in a fruit salad. Fantastic service all round.

Brilliant hotel. Excellent location - well trained staff. Feels like an old school hotel in terms of service quality but up-to-date decor and amenities. Really wonderful stay - we will definitely be back. Lovely bar area and beautiful room. Particular mention to Mendal (I think was his name) whose service at breakfast was exemplary.
