"Very enjoyable and relaxing getaway for the whole family."

10.0

The rooms were decorated really well, everything was super cozy, and the breakfast in the morning is very nice.

There was a bit of a heat wave in the area with no A/C or fans in any of the rooms.

"Characterful and charming hotel in beautiful location"

8.0

Lovely character and location. Spotlessly clean. Amazing evening meal.

Breakfast selection is adequate. Bed linen was very rough on my skin, think it was some kind of antique bed linen? Otherwise lovely.

"Excellent and very homely hotel."

8.0

Fantastic food. Truly great. Breakfast has excellent choices. Really lovely staff. Great shower and comfy bed. Itโ€™s a โ€œquirkyโ€ and cute hotel, they just need to ensure it stays that way and doesnโ€™t slide into ramshackleโ€ฆ.

WiFi slow. Came up with poor security messages. Some areas need attention, like cracked toilet handle and missing shelf in bathroom. One lamp in our room was also broken.

"If you want authentic & rich experience + a lot of nature walks possibilities - go for it."

10.0

Continental cold breakfast - very good choice of foods. Restaurant - we had a really good meal after we arrived in the evening. Nature around. Property style & interior - originally built as a hunting manor house. I would like to return there & stay longer than just one night.

"Excellent"

8.0

Struttura tipica in posizione tranquilla ma lontana dal centro della cittadina. Colazione buona ma senza la presenza di cibi caldi, tranne le uova sode

Struttura un poโ€™ datata e pulizia superficiale
