Comfortable Stay with Excellent Breakfast

clean interior friendly staff local produce convenient car park

The hotel was very clean inside, despite its exterior appearance. I found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. Breakfast included locally sourced products and offered plenty of options. I appreciated the convenient car park located directly behind the building.

My room faced the main road. This caused some noise disturbance when I kept the windows open at night.

Rooms

8/10

The room was modern and spacious, even if it faced the main road, it was also clean. The bathroom included all necessary amenities, though the soundproofing could have been better.

Facilities

9/10

The hotel provides a car park ' use, a valuable asset given the central location. The location offers easy access to the village center. I also noted the presence of clearly marked bins for dog waste.

Dining

10/10

Breakfast featured local produce. It accommodated various dietary needs, with plentiful options. The breakfast was a highlight, though the dining room could get crowded during peak hours.
