Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a gem in the heart of the village, offering comfortable rooms and friendly service. While the downstairs pub adds to the lively atmosphere, noise levels can be bothersome. The pricing is reasonable, and the welcoming drink is a nice touch.
The hotel is in a charming old town with a sweet vibe, perfect for exploring the beautiful hills and glens nearby. The rooms offer very comfortable beds with a bonus of great views, making for a cozy stay. However, some may find the price a bit high for what's offered.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel, located in the heart of a sweet old town. The rooms were comfortable and spotless, featuring a good-sized double bed. The service was top-notch, with great housekeeping and a welcoming drink upon arrival. However, the dining experience lacked variety in freshly baked European bread. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall experience. The value for money was reasonable, considering the enjoyable stay.
This hotel has a wonderful setting in the National Park with beautiful views and a cozy ambiance. The rooms are spacious with comfy beds, but the Wi-Fi is not the best. The staff is attentive and welcoming, enhancing the overall experience.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The room had a good-sized double bed with a great view, and the bed was super comfortable. The service was top-notch, from the housekeeping to the welcome drink. The location couldn't be better, right in the center of town with easy access to the hills and glens. The dining experience was excellent, especially the white rice. The facilities were impressive, making my stay truly enjoyable.
The hotel is a gem situated in the heart of the National Park, with stunning views and a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable and offer great views, and though the shared bathroom might not suit everyone, it's worth it. The service is top-notch, and the location provides easy access to all the nature wonders around. The Mediterranean dishes in the restaurant are a delight, but prices could be more budget-friendly.
