- "Beautiful building and nice surrounding. Spacy room, good restaurant, a quiet place with historical charm." - "Friendly team. Brilliant location." - "Staff were amazing." - "The Hotel is lovely, the location is central to the village, and the staff was great. loved how nice they were to us, but, if you are traveling with a pet/cat, then it is a problem... pets are allowed, but not cats.. so we booked a nice room but were moved to a tiny, less well-furbished room because we had a cat ... I am thankful they allowed us to stay, but if you travel there with a cat, keep in mind that cats are not welcome (dogs no problem). I do understand that cats may damage stuff, but ours is a very well-behaved cat, that's why we travel with her. Overall it is a lovely place with wonderful people. 24h coffee machine idea is great."

The architecture of the building is very beautiful and welcoming. Inside of the building makes you feel you are walking around Gryffindor common room at Hogwarts. Great interiors and decorations.
