Quelle déception

Un hotel qui ne vaut pas le tarif que nous avons paye. Pas de pression dans la douche, peu d eau chaude, chambres tres peu éclairées et pour couronner le tout de nombreuses chenilles dans la salle de bain, dans la chambre et sur le lit également.

A marvellous break

Everything about the week-end was picture perfect for us to slow-down and relax after a busy week. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, the rangers knowledgeable and the food great. The room was very comfortable and clean. Definitely worth a second visit and highly recommended.
