The central location by the picturesque river was just perfect, as a guest I found the hotel to be very comfortable and clean, service was for the most part good.

Individual guest reviews

  • The room and the view from its window were magnificent, the staff were courteous, and the pool and hot tub were a welcome relief at the end of the day. The towel rail in the bathroom was on for too long at the wrong time and the breakfast was disappointing.

  • In all a very nice stay, freindly staff and receptionist friendly. Comfortable and clean rooms, poor food, great pool and spa.

    Unfortunately there aren't many decent alternatives in the area, prices too high and no fresh fruit.
