Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

sauna accessgarden areacomplimentary drinkpleasant staff
The room included coffee, tea, and biscuits. I swam in the lovely pool and used the sauna. The breakfast options were very good, and the staff members were pleasant. I especially liked the available garden areas. Complimentary drinks were a nice addition.
The bedroom doors closed automatically and were quite loud, slightly disruptive
