Spacious and Comfortable Room

Our room was exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. With a terrific king-sized bed and a large bathroom featuring a waterfall shower head, we found it to be very comfortable. It felt like a lovely home away from home during our stay.

Delicious Breakfast Selection

The breakfast was excellent! We enjoyed a fantastic continental selection and had freshly made eggs every morning. The pancakes were a must-try, simply delicious and a perfect way to start the day.

Relaxing Lounge Area

We loved the lounge area with a cozy fire and honesty bar. It was inviting, and we appreciated the large bookcase filled with novels and guidebooks, providing a homely atmosphere that we enjoyed during our downtime.
