My stay was quite enjoyable, with spacious and clean rooms that featured a stunning outside shower. The staff was friendly and engaged, making the experience feel special. However, the location, while beautiful, is a bit outside the main attractions. Dining was exceptional, particularly the breakfast options, which I loved. All in all, it felt like a good value for the overall experience.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel, which beautifully combines old colonial charm with modern design elements. The rooms were spacious and my open-roof shower experience really connected me with nature, making it feel extra special. Although the location is a bit secluded, it provides a peaceful retreat with lovely surroundings. The dining options were outstanding, particularly the homemade marmalade and diverse breakfast choices, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, it was a great value for money, but the service could be a bit more efficient at times.

This hotel has a fantastic charm with its elegant decor and delightful bathrooms, making it a comfortable place to stay. The service was incredibly attentive, especially from Mr. Hereth. However, while the location feels intimate and surrounded by nature, it can be a bit secluded for those wanting to explore nearby attractions easily. Overall, I found great value for money here.
