Really good Room and Great Dining
flat screen tv full-size bath authentic atmosphere
I found beautiful country walks nearby. The room was furnished well. It had a large flat screen TV, and the bathroom included a full-size bath. I enjoyed the breakfast and the cozy, authentic atmosphere . The restaurant menu offered a good selection to choose from.
The bed was uncomfortably soft and squeaky, difficult to sleep well. the room overlooked the front area of the hotel, causing noise issues.
