The hotel is fine for an overnight stay. It’s a bit tired and old fashioned in terms of decoration.

Superb
Everything about this hotel is superb. The room is lovely and spacious with a big, super king bed. The bathroom bright and modern. This hotel is clearly very well looked after. The staff are incredibly polite and great at their jobs. The food... delicious, from starter through to dessert. I fully expect to return and look forward to doing so.

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel very much, not limited to friendly staff, spacious green area and clean and comfortable room. Two suggestions: 1. A reflective mirror at the car exit as the visibility of coming cars was low when I drove out
2 Better have a refrigerator
