    cozy evening
    top-notch food
    slight odor

    We had an amazing night here, relaxing by the lovely garden and enjoying a cozy evening in the sun terrace. The food was top-notch, and although the en-suite had a slight odor, it didn't dampen our spirits one bit. If you're around, definitely try the dining options—they're truly fantastic! 😊

    high food prices

    Amazing views and warm vibes!

    The staff was super friendly and really helped us out. We loved having breakfast while looking at the beautiful river view. Just wish the hot tub experience hadn’t been interrupted by pesky bumblebees. the food prices were kinda high for what we got, but overall, we really enjoyed our time.

    super comfy stay with the pup!

    Spent 4 nights and loved every bit. The staff were super friendly, and the room was so comfy. Our dog was treated like royalty with a nice blanket and treats! Everything was spotless, and the walks nearby were just stunning. Breakfast hit the spot too! Only thing, the bathroom was a bit on the small side.

    stunning location
    friendly staff
    low-quality food
    noise disturbances

    The location by the river is absolutely stunning, making for picturesque views during the stay. Staff were friendly and accommodating, but the food, especially breakfast, left a lot to be desired with low-quality ingredients used. The acoustics also meant some noise disturbances were noticeable throughout the night.

    cozy room
    comfy bed
    charming decor
    small size
    morning noise

    We stayed in a Standard Double Room and it was cozy, perfect for two. The bed was comfy, which made it easy to relax after a long day. The decor had a nice charm to it, adding a unique touch. Although it was on the smaller side, it didn’t feel cramped at all. Only downside was a bit of noise from outside in the mornings, but it wasn't a huge bother really.
