Staying at this hotel was truly a magical experience. The building looks like a charming castle, full of character and history. It even has a secret garden where you can enjoy freshly brewed coffee and delicious cookies—or simply relax with a good book. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay, this hidden gem is the perfect escape.

A must stay

This is a super cozy option close to the city with buses stopping just outside. The hotel is very quiet which is a huge plus. The breakfast was something extra - a really luxurious serving with additional options included. My only problem was that the pillows were far too stuffed - it was difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep in. The bed was otherwise very soft and comfortable!
