Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located in the village, making it convenient for exploring the area and close to the Parish church, a highlight for Easter visits. The rooms are furnished traditionally with all the facilities needed but lacked a sofa for relaxation. The service was exceptional, with a new manager ensuring great assistance from the chef to the receptionist. The dining experience offered varied options, especially for vegetarians, with perfect poached eggs being a favorite. The facilities were well-kept and functional, providing all essential amenities. While the location and service were top-notch, the absence of a relaxation sofa in the rooms and slightly limited dining options were minor drawbacks.
The hotel is located in the heart of the village, which is very convenient for exploring the area. The rooms have a bit of character and are equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The service provided, from the chef to the receptionist and manager, is excellent, making you feel truly valued. However, the dining options are limited for vegetarians, which can be a downside. Overall, a great value for money stay with friendly service.
