Great rooms, quiet, good hotel facilities in a small town

Gerard New Zealand

The women at the front desk were friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was excellent. The property around the hotel was well groomed beautifully cared for.

Ron United States

Staff were extremely helpful. For price the facilities were excellent and the hotel appears to be run to very high professional standards.

Paul United Kingdom

Very large room and very nice public areas to relax in too. Perfect location for touring the district.

Anonymous United Kingdom

Quarto de dimensão boa e cama confortável. Pequeno almoço muito bom e serviço atencioso e com simpatia. Respeito generalizado pelas normas de higiene com marcação de horário de pequeno almoço para minimizar número de pessoas em simultâneo.

Pedro Portugal

Le charme de l’hôtel, la qualité de l’accueil et la gentillesse des personnes.

Philippe France

The staff, in particular Roi, were friendly and helpful. The property is comfortable and probably quite nice during its higher season.

Stewart Canada

We kregen een grote kamer met balkon. Ruime badkamer.

Christl Netherlands

Da simpatia de todo o pessoal. Pequeno almoço personalizado dada a baixa ocupação mas queijo "fresco" de pacote e croissants também de embalagem...
