    Delightful hotel, central location very close to the centre of town, caring staff, relaxing bar area. Location very close to shops restaurants, coffee shops, and the walking paths. For shots visit Bar Cantina, nestled within 5 minutes' walk of the venue. Tastefully decorated room, generous and large breakfasts.

    We had a fantastic stay at this luxurious hotel. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the main street. The staff were incredibly welcoming and even accommodated our request for an earlier breakfast. The room was spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed including ironing facilities and a flat-screen TV. The hotel also had a lovely outdoor dining area where we enjoyed a delicious welcome drink. this place exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to families for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    We had an amazing value for our money at this charming place! The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect, with the river just a stone's throw away and shops and restaurants within a short distance. The hosts Martin and Sandy were welcoming, friendly, and treated us like family. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!

    Hotel breakfast was delicious and healthy, but it would have been even better if there were more options to choose from.

    The room decoration was nice and the breakfast was satisfactory. The location of the hotel is in a calm area and close to the main street.

    Sadly, the room we were given was not the one we had reserved. , the room was dimly lit which made it difficult to read.

    The morning experience was tranquil, with minimal guests and a comfortable couch in the loungeroom. Breakfast at the wooden table was a luxurious touch. The bed and bathroom were clean and cozy, although one power point in the bathroom needs repair. Staff communication was clear and kind.
