"This hotel was stunning and we recommend this beautiful hotel. We had a roofbox and outside parking was no issue unlike some other hotels we stayed in on our trip around Europe. The room and building, breakfast and facilities were excellent. The staff we great but we had one issue with the shower and water temperature in the morning which was cold. On querying with the reception I was told the water should be allowed to run and it would get warm, they checked but the water was still “cool” but at the correct temperature. Have both us showered we know that cool (and no way to increase the temp” was correct. This was the only downside of our visit, but we will come back the next time we are in the area as this did not detract from this being one of the best hotels we have stayed in over the many years of travelling."
