Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful, with especially spacious and comfortable rooms. However, the room was very dark, and it felt like one of several rooms in a row in what looked like an add-on to the house. The service was wonderful, with the staff going out of their way to assist me with an onward booking mistake. The location was really wonderful and charming, perfect for a quiet town getaway. The dining experience was lovely, under a glassed-in outdoor patio, though the options were not ideal. Overall, it was a great experience.
The hotel's rooms were big, spacious, and comfortable, but without air conditioning, it can get a bit hot during the summer. The service was exceptional, especially with staff going out of their way to assist in multiple languages, including French. The location, while quiet and great for cycling tours, housed a superb restaurant in a historic converted barn. The dining experience offered lovely pastries under a glassed-in patio, although not inclusive of hearty Welsh pastries. The facilities were top-notch, even in the pricey 17th-century barn setting.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and bright with an excellent shower and comfortable beds, offering all amenities. Although the room decor was nice but basic, it was still cozy and welcoming. The service was very helpful, going out of their way to assist me with a booking mistake, and the staff was friendly and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location was extremely quiet and charming, perfect for a peaceful retreat. The dining experience consisted of delicious pastries and was of a high standard, adding to the overall positive experience.
My stay at this hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were nice and basic but had everything I needed. The proximity to the pool was a bonus. The service was extremely helpful, especially when I needed assistance with a booking mistake. The location was wonderfully charming, inviting me to relax by the heated pool or under the shade of mature trees. The dining experience was pleasant, though I wished there were more fresh fruits. The facilities were satisfactory, providing everything I required for a comfortable stay.
