The hotel offers a pleasant escape with clean and comfortable rooms that have a unique earthy feel. The staff was quite helpful, providing lots of information during check-in. However, the outside areas need more attention, and the dining options, particularly for the evening meal, require significant improvement. Despite the peaceful surroundings, the lack of activities and limited facilities might not suit everyone's needs.
