The hotel offers a mix of charm and modern comfort in a relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and cozy with an old house vibe, though a bit dark and near the air conditioning facility. The location is convenient on the outskirts of the city with friendly staff, yet lacking in some spa areas. The dining experience is excellent with a varied menu but a letdown overall. A place with high standards and friendly service but could use some improvements in certain areas.

I spent a relaxing weekend at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful gardens and impressive old part of the property. The staff were courteous and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. However, the absence of air conditioning in our room made it too warm for comfort. The spa area was a highlight, and we plan to return for a treatment next time.

Rooms

The room was near the spa and featured only one double bed, which was not ideal for sharing with my tall teenage son. The lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortably warm during our stay.

The hotel's old grandeur and beautiful gardens left a lasting impression. Though we didn't use the spa this time, its presence alone was worth a return trip. The friendly and professional staff added to the overall positive experience.
