Reviews and Ratings
Our stay at the hotel was welcoming and pleasant. The rooms, though a bit dated, offered ample space for us and our big German Shepherd. The location, while stunning and great for nature lovers, could be a bit noisy until late due to the bar below. The countryside setting added to the charm, and the breakfast was a delightful surprise not advertised on the booking site.
The hotel offers cosy rooms with very comfy beds, plenty of hot water, and good heating. The service was decent with attentive housekeeping and tailored laundry service. The location is lovely and quiet, perfect for exploring local places, but the bar area and beer garden could use a cleanup. The dining experience was good overall but lacked variety in breakfast options. The facilities are adequate, with a welcoming environment for a rural stay.
