It was a nice hotel

7.0

Breakfast was good. Room was a good enough size.

Went for dinner and saw online they had different menus. Was only given the one choice of menu which we thought was a little expensive for what it was. Also car parking was a little small with steep steps, would be better with a handrail.

Riesiges Zimmer mit großem Badezimmer und freistehender Badewanne. Direkt neben der Zugstation Boat of Garten.

Der Preis war etwas hoch für eine Nacht (310€)

Mixed bag but potential to be great

6.0

The location and setting are stunning.

Serval small things, broken window with mould, stone staff were great some were off hand with you, food was low quality for the cost

Leider enttäuschend

2.0

Our room was so small that we couldn't even put our suitcases down. The double bed was no more than about 1.3 metres wide, so there was hardly enough room for the two of us. Unfortunately, neither the room nor the breakfast area was clean, and even the dishes at breakfast were dirty. I would generally skip the breakfast and spend a few extra euros at a nearby café instead. I'm sorry to say this, but we were actually relieved that we hadn't booked a longer stay.

8.0

Food was great. Location was delightful and well placed for places we wanted to visit. Loved exploring village and train station at end of day. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable. But a little worn at the edges and creaking floor boards. Bathroom was small but modern and clean. Only issue for some - but not us - might be the lack of elevator.
