The staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the breakfast (it had a great selection of pastries). The pool was lovely and offered a refreshing escape during the day. I found the location good for accessing nearby towns.

The room I had was a bit small for a longer stay (but it was perfectly fine for a few nights).
