The staff was very friendly. I found them quite helpful . I enjoyed the food very much. The breakfast was excellent, and the dinner I had included perfectly cooked scallops. The hotel has a charming atmosphere, very fitting for a country house. I found the modern bathroom clean.
The bedroom was somewhat worn. The closet door below the coffee machine was broken.

Satisfactory Stay

warm welcome lovely view iced water tired room bathroom knob wall hole
I was welcomed warmly by the manager who escorted me to the lounge. A table was set with lovely views into the garden. Iced water was served before our first course arrived. Beautiful sandwiches and savouries were included in this course, along with tea and coffee.
The room looked very tired for a premium suite in a four-star hotel. I observed marks and holes on the wall. The bathroom door knob came off when I tried to open the door. I noticed much wear and tear on the bathroom countertop.
