We booked a Deluxe Double Room - it was really luxury, clean and with nice design. It is a big bed with canopy. Breakfast was included and with many options. Even bottled water was provided. What we disliked was two things only - the shower cabin was small and the hotel is located on a hill. There is more than one road leading to the property - the one that Google Maps directed us to was in bad condition. The hotel has a free parking. Overall I would definitely recommend the hotel and would stay again.

Pænt og ordentligt hotel, men plads til forbedring

Pæne værelser, det skal i virkelig have ros for. Desværre er sengen utrolig blød så man føler at man ligger i en fordybning. Morgenmad er ikke den store oplevelse men der er lidt af hvert. Hvis du er gangbesværet vil jeg fraråde at vælge dette hotel, da man skal op af en stejl bakke for at komme frem.

Super ☀️

Légèrement éloigné du centre (15/20min à pieds) mais du coup au calme et facilement accessible en voiture! Nous avons pris la chambre avec vue sur le château, très belle !
