Amazing stay and great food!

outdoor area hot tub
The staff was very kind when I arrived! The pod was amazing. It was very warm and comfortable with all the facilities I needed. The outdoor area with the hot tub was relaxing. I enjoyed sitting there with a glass of wine and watching the stars. It was really quiet. I could not even hear the main road nearby.
Facilities
9/10
The hot tub was very clean and well kept. The parking is private for each block. The shower had excellent water pressure, so this made it easy to wash after a day spent walking in the countryside.
Location

The hotel is near a local pub. The local pub is just a couple of minutes walk. The pub was very cute. The food at the pub was also excellent.

mixed feelings about this place

deceiving pictures loud noise
the pub served nice food.
the pictures online were misleading. i thought i would have a single pod but it was two pods together. the pod next to mine was very loud at night. there was only one mug and no glasses provided, that wasn't helpful since i traveled as a couple.
