I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, marked by stunning surroundings and lovely amenities. The rooms were exceptionally spacious, especially the four-poster bed, which added a touch of luxury to my experience. The dining options were fantastic, with a hearty breakfast that set the right tone for my day. However, during my stay, there was one issue with noise due to a wedding, and the service while at the bar could have been a tad quicker. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway.
