The room was spacious and well equipped (no kettle though - you need to ask for hot drinks at the bar) and staff are attentive. The pool and hot tub were a nice bonus.
Large clean room with comfortable beds. Only 3 electrical sockets available and all in use. Maybe provide an extention lead? Staff were generally helpful and friendly. Lovely area/setting. No parking issues and lovely garden though didn't get to sit outside much due to the rain. Restaurant needs some attention as food/cooking quality a bit hit and miss. However competitively priced. Would happily return though I might eat out more.
The place is so nice. Staff is friendly and helpful

Room needs kettle and tea/coffee. Bed wasn’t too bad, but pillows were not comfortable. Breakfast was buffet with hot and cold choices. Staff were very friendly. Swimming pool is heated and hot tub a welcome break! Two free car parks at front and rear of hotel.
Quiet hotel in a small town. Clean, good service, nice breakfast. Easy to drive around to other attractions in the area. Good Wi-Fi and modern facilities.
Very interesting historical museum hotel. The hotel is well maintained for its age, felt like going back in time a bit. Our group was impressed by how well-kept and clean it is, everything was sparkling clean.
Great hotel enjoyed every moment of my stay. Clean and comfortable and staff were really friendly and welcoming. Restaurant staff were really helpful and provided a good service, breakfast and dinner were both great with a good selection of food.
Beautiful spaces and location. The pool and spa are brand new. This hotel is like a museum but modern and fresh. The restaurant is great for breakfast and dinner. The beds are a bit too firm for us though.
Staff was very nice. Very basic accommodation- no AC, dark, small room, food ok, but expensive for what it is. Nice pool, lukewarm hot tub, good shower pressure. Bed is super uncomfortable, hard, springy. There may be better rooms in the updated building, but I don’t know.
Beautiful views of the valley and the Atlantic from our room Beautiful gardens, indoor pool, hot tub and sauna. Large common area with lots of room to spread out, antiques from the area and other items of interest. Very friendly staff
Nice location in the mountains, great starting point. Value for money is very good, the room
was comfortable. There is a newly renovated pool area with jacuzzi and sauna which was nicer than in some 5 star hotels. The breakfast was ok for a few days, it’s nothing special. Staff very friendly. When you’re looking for an affordable place to stay for a few days, this is the place for you.

Very nice smaller hotel with good facilities. Pool and Jacuzzi are very nice. Sauna costs extra, which is not indicated at the time of the reservation, but worth it.
Room included an excellent continental breakfast and dinner was also very good. Would definitely recommend.
December is low season and it was quiet.
