The place was picture perfect and fairly clean, it had ideal location and food. I loved an English decor and lovely furniture. Found in a pretty nice area. Besides, hotel was 5 km away from a picturesque lake. The stay was excellent.

Location was so ideal, I appreciated beautifully maintained rooms and service-minded staff. Great beds, balcony, coffee facilities and climate control were a nice touch. Nice choice of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, porridge, pancakes and meats for a full English breakfast. Walking distance to the lovely beach. Simple check-in and personalised customer service.
