9.6/10 Exceptional! (942 reviews)
The room was clean and well decorated, it felt modern and quality. All staff we came across were lovely, polite and friendly. The hotel was very beautiful, in an old house with preserved original features. The basement pool was tiny but in a lovely setting, the rooftop terrace was pretty and the rooftop pool, but they were closed for much of our stay due to the wind. Breakfast was a small but well thought out buffet with a lovely choice of hot food. Staff were very attentive. Location hard to beat!
