It would have been great to have been told that the bar, restaurant and the whole village is basically closed during this week in January. In addition the room was freezing cold despite the best efforts of two wall mounted electric heaters. No breakfast available

Wasn’t expecting to have an overnight stay but the price with breakfast included was too good to refuse. Once arrived at the hotel, there was very friendly staff and an affordable dinner with good options. Room was comfy but admittedly elderly furnishings. But, breakfast was beyond expectations with a full cooked & continental included. Would recommend!

I’m thoroughly delighted with my stay at this apartment. The location is fantastic, and the parking is convenient. The friendly and welcoming staff, particularly Alex, made my experience even more enjoyable. The breakfast was freshly prepared and served hot, which was a great start to my day. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

Manager on the desk went out of his way to make up for the fact that I 1. Missed breakfast on day 01 as I didn’t realise breakfast was included 2. I didn’t get much sleep on the first night due to a very noisy person above my room late at night & early in the morning. He straight away moved me to a better , bigger double room and got chef to do me a cooked breakfast to go and even. Packed lunch ! Would definitely stay again :)

This was my first time in this hotel, booked with hotels.com. This hotel was very clean, well maintained, and its staff was very friendly and helpful. I had booked a single room for 3 nights. I had booked a single room. The room was clean with all amenities. What let the room and the hotel down spectacuarly was the thinness of the wall and the noise coming from room 19 next door, with door banging and shouting atvall hours. But manager kindly moved me to a quieter room on the second night.

Really?good stay and reqlly good value for money. The room was cleen and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Breakfast was good but not excellent. Our only criticism was the shower. The water pressure on the top floor was very poor. Took an age to get wet! Othet than that, we would be happy to stay again.
