Excellent Stay with Historic Charm

I stayed in a room located in the modern addition. The room had everything I needed. I found a bath included and it was most welcome after a long journey. The breakfast was lovely with decent coffee.

The staff was not always available and sometimes I had to ring a bell at reception (this was a minor inconvenience though).

The hotel offered an evening meal, well prepared. I thought it represented better value than some restaurants in the nearby town center. The breakfast had a good range of options and was a standard continental style.

the hotel staff were kind, offering a late meal after my arrival though the restaurant was closing. i found the location to be beautiful, with so much history nearby and the hotel was quiet, a true comfort. the sheep took care of the grass trimming, a peaceful and endearing sight.

the modern building where i stayed lacked some of the charm of the older chateau.
