Beautiful hotel, tastefully renovated. We stayed at the executive suite with garden view, which was adorable. There was a hiccup during checkout as we were abruptly told that we hadn’t paid for the room, while in fact we had. We showed the invoice and it was settled but the way this was dealt with left a bad taste.

This is fantastic hotel and the decor is absolutely superb, the bedroom was luxurious and bed huge and comfy, the shower was absolutely fantastic, the staff can not do enough for you. The grounds are secluded garden that has a bathing pool (not heated ) in the centre but the garden is extremely well maintained and they have several patios with very comfy seating and there is a canal at the end of the garden.
They also have a wellness centre and a jacuzzi which we didnt try on our stay

This was one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Very picturesque. The staff here are very friendly and accommodating. We did the coursed breakfast and every bite was delicious. It’s a little outside of city center, so very serene and quiet. Highly recommended.

Amazing hotel - let down by 'pool & spa'
Had a lovely weekend break with my girlfriend and enjoyed every bit of this hotel - my only criticism is that they advertise pool, jaquizzi and spa - but the pool is basically a pond in the garden (with fish in it) and spa is a small out house with tiny sauna in it. They also charge an extra fee for using the spa, which is disappointing considering the amount you spend on the room.
We decided against using the spa for that reason.
