I had a lovely stay here. The room was nice and had a stunning view of the adjacent mountain. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and check in was fast. The restaurant had a good range of food and drink, so my evening meal was enjoyable. The leisure facilities included with the stay were great. The outdoor jacuzzi was a particular highlight. Breakfast was good. Whilst I personally prefer a self-serve hot counter, service was quick and the quality of ingredients was very high. The property isn’t modern, but it is clean and charming. You’ll need to drive to get to anywhere away from the hotel, but you shouldn’t need to go anywhere as the hotel has all you need (there’s a petrol station just next door if needed) I’d certainly stay here again
