The food here is really something else, I had the best venison I’ve ever tasted during dinner, like it was crafted by some sort of culinary alchemist. The staff were very friendly, always eager to help, especially Jethro who gave me great tips about the area, it's rare to find that kind of dedication.
It wasn’t exactly wallet-friendly, but still acceptable for the quality offered.

Rooms feel outdated, with a persistent damp smell that brings down the atmosphere. Water pressure in the shower fluctuates, making it a chore to get washed. The restaurant menu lacks noteworthy vegetarian options, and dining experiences can be hit or miss, reflecting a desire for more balanced meals. I also experienced discomfort due to inadequate soundproofing, with noise from upper floors disrupting sleep. the decor throughout is tired and shabby, not meeting expectations for the price.

Had a lovely stay and enjoyed the spacious room and the unexpected hot tub that helped me unwind after a long day. The hotel also offers a nice lounge area and a cozy outdoor patio for some relaxation time. Just wish there had been a few more charging points in the room, but overall, it was a really nice experience! 👍
