I had a wonderful weekend at this hotel! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place was impressively clean. The team didn’t rush us during checkout, which made for a relaxed departure. They even set up a bonfire for us upon request, which was a nice personal touch. The food was delicious, and the quiet ambiance was just what we needed to unwind.

The only downside was that the pool wasn’t functional at the time of our stay, which was a bit disappointing since I was looking forward to a swim. However, I understand they’re working on it, so it’s likely just a temporary issue.

The cottage was cozy and comfortable, the pool area was refreshing and the whole property had a nice atmosphere.

Everything met my satisfaction but the internet wasn’t reliable.

I liked everything. Outside the chaotic city centre, the rooms are clean, the staff really friendly and the food is amazing.

Unfortunately, I could not get my money back even after canceling (with a month previous to my arrival) an extra room I had booked. I known that this is the rule, but many times tourists when booking they do mistakes, and considering I had cancelled a month before, I expected I was going to have my money back. I really enjoyed the place and I do recommend for others, but don't do this mistake. One thing I learned, I will never book again accomodations that to not allow free cancelation and refunding all the money.

I really love staying here, staff was so friendly, great food, I love the bonfire, it's a nice place to stay.

The standard rooms are smaller than they look in the pictures, they need to update pictures, i had to change to a deluxe room because the standard was small for my preference
