I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The beautiful garden setting was a real treat, and the cozy fireplace in the room made it feel extra special. The service was top-notch, providing all the amenities and assistance I needed. However, the price was a bit on the higher side for what was offered. Overall, a delightful experience!
