A Sweet Escape to Remember Forever

good decor beautiful lighting fresh towels gluten-free menu
We booked a standard double room. The room had good décor and such beautiful lighting. Fresh towels were provided daily, really appreciated. The hotel food selection was AMAZING!!! A gluten-free menu was available.
The Wi-Fi signal was a little weak in our room, but honestly, it encouraged us to disconnect and enjoy each other's company even more.
Dining
9/10
The dining area was clean and well kept. There was a children's menu that offered several options, appreciated. The chef uses local ingredients for many dishes.
Location

The hotel is near local walking routes. One trail starts just behind the building. There are shops and local attractions, including the go-karting down the road, less than a ten-minute drive away. Parking was ample.
Service

The food at the pub was really good. I thought the breakfast was especially tasty. the location proved very convenient for visiting the nearby go-karting track. i found the restaurant downstairs served yummy food. the staff were really helpful and friendly.
I noticed the shower room was very small. Washing hands sometimes caused water to splash onto the floor.
