fine view friendly staff helpful information
the riverside room was amazing. i loved the fine view and listening to the bubbling river outside was relaxing. the staff were super friendly and helpful (especially at reception and during breakfast). i really appreciated their readiness with local information.
i did find that the lack of evening meals was a bit inconvenient. i had to check nearby places to eat and drink. remember that many are closed on monday and tuesday.
