Nice midweek break and decent prices - except for the wine, but that seems to be a problem everywhere in the South!! However we had a quiet room and the breakfast is of an excellent quality. I think thats nearly 200 characters... What about now? Still not there. Maybe now...

My friend and I were only there for a night but had a great time! The breakfast was good, the rooms were comfy, and the location was ideal - we had a great view of the river and the trees beyond. The best thing though was the unbelievable service that we were welcomed with and the women at reception who... More
