Romantic Getaway

spacious roomseparate sinksrainfall showerblackout curtains
The Luxury Double Room was spacious I noted two separate sinks were present. A rainfall shower provided a relaxing experience. I found fresh flowers placed in the room added a tender touch. I slept soundly due to blackout curtains in the bedroom.
I noticed a slight delay in receiving requested extra pillows.
Dining

Breakfast included both a buffet and cooked-to-order options I thought this was very kind. The dining room offered soft background music during dinner. I enjoyed the fresh, locally sourced ingredients used in each meal.

dated decorfusty smell
the decor felt dated. dark furniture filled the room, reminding me of hotels from my childhood. i suspect they aim for this style, but it did not strike me as a proper five-star country house. rooms even had a fusty smell. the terrace was not clean. the table needed a power wash due to dust and cobwebs.
