"From the moment we stepped in the hotel, we knew we were in good hands. Pramuk made us feel very welcomed with his outstanding hospitality, being very helpful and friendly. It had a lovely living-room area with a 'fire place' like heater, and it was also very well equipped (mini fridge, electric water heater, coffee machine, cutlery, etc). The bed was quite comfy as well. We were dazzled by the spacious bathroom."

"Lovely place to stay, quiet, beautiful grounds. We stayed in a Loft room and it was so good, spacious, and homely. The staff were very friendly, especially the lovely person in reception who was leaving, she was so nice, they will miss her. Great breakfast room and buffet. Not huge but lovely setting and relaxing music playing. We were only guests plus one other for two mornings and it was lovely. Highly recommend it for couples for a special stay, we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay. Thank you so much for making it special."
