Reviews and Ratings
The hotel overlooks the main road, which can be a bit noisy at times, but the rooms are fair, albeit a bit dark, and lacked sheets with the duvets. The large family room was a definite plus for us.
My stay at the hotel was very pleasant overall. The rooms, although needing a little maintenance, were clean, quiet, and comfortable. The pillows falling down the gap at the back of the bed was a bit inconvenient, but I still had a good night's sleep. I was very warm even with the window open, but that didn't ruin my experience. I will definitely be staying here again on my next visit.
The hotel has a quirky charm with fair rooms that are a bit on the dark side. The service is excellent and makes you feel right at home. The location is ideal for outdoor activities. The dining experience offers local soul-warming dishes but lacks some variety. Overall, a cozy stay with a few minor quirks.
