10/10 Excellent
"Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Nous avons apprécié les 2 sentiers en forêt où nous pouvions aller marcher et observer les oiseaux. Les lits était très confortable ainsi que les oreillés. La douche chaude était parfaite. Je n'ai que de bon commentaire pour cet hôtel. Seul point négatif, il y avait du wifi dans le hall de l'hôtel mais pas de wifi dans notre chambre."
