I recently had a two-night stay at this hotel, and while the staff were kind and the meals were delightful, I was slightly let down by the facilities, particularly the aging pool area. The location provides easy access to the charming town nearby, which is a definite plus. The quality of the rooms was decent, but their decor felt a bit outdated. Overall, it has potential but needs some attention to details.

The hotel offers a unique atmosphere that feels quite homey, especially with seasonal decorations. While I found my room to be decent and the staff friendly, there were noticeable maintenance issues in other areas and some minor inconveniences during my stay. The dining experience was a highlight, but inconsistencies in service and room quality left me wanting more.

I was really excited for our stay, but it turned out to be quite a mixed bag. The wedding venue was absolutely perfect; everything from the decor to the food was top-notch. However, my experience during a summer trip left much to be desired with poor room conditions and maintenance issues. Overall, I loved the wedding experience but was disappointed with the other stay.

We had a lovely weekend celebrating a birthday at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the noise from the room above was quite disruptive. The dining experience for dinner was nice, and breakfast had a great variety to satisfy different tastes. Although there were some service hiccups, overall, it was an enjoyable stay and we'd consider returning again.
