fantastic stay, minor shower issue
comfortable loungesfriendly staffsensor lightingdog treats
i enjoyed my visit. the lounges were comfortable and decorated tastefully. the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, i appreciated their service. my room had soft sensor lighting in the bathroom, a nice touch. there were even treats left in the room for my dog, very thoughtful.
the shower seal was missing, i noticed. this resulted in the floor becoming very wet during use. this was a minor inconvenience, but it affected my overall experience somewhat.
Dining
9/10
The hotel offered excellent food. I ate dinner there for two nights plus breakfast each day and everything tasted superb. the breakfast was not a buffet but a carefully prepared, custom meal. the food was fresh, and the tea was hot.
Facilities
9/10
the hotel features a pool and sauna with bookable slots, great for private use. the lounges were comfortable and tastefully decorated, a cosy atmosphere added to my stay. equal distance from two towns provides choices for dining out in the evening.
Rooms
