Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which feature nice seating areas and even two bathrooms. The bathrooms also receive praise, particularly the top-notch showers. The location is convenient for exploring the surrounding area, and the beautiful grounds can be reached by a nice road leading to the castle where you can pick up the keys. Some guests have found the restaurant prices relatively expensive, but overall the location is considered good for hikers.

i liked the spacious room and its quiet atmosphere. the inn's proximity to attractions was convenient for sightseeing. checking in at the castle added a unique touch to the experience and gave me a chance to see the beautiful grounds.
i found the lack of a refrigerator in the room inconvenient. storing drinks and snacks was a challenge.

wonderful inn stay

spacious roombeautiful groundslimited food
the inn superior double room was quite spacious. two bathrooms with toilets were available and one included a bathtub. the inn is located within beautiful manor grounds with gardens and pathways perfect for walks.
the limited food options at the restaurant were a bit disappointing. the menu felt basic and the prices seemed high for the quality offered.

Quiet stay near great sights

clean roomconvenient locationmissing chair
the location was convenient. the inn offered rooms that were clean and large. i had easy access to all the points of interest around the area, as i could drive to them in about 15 minutes.
the inn was old fashioned and in need of a major update. there wasn't even a chair in the room to sit on. that was an inconvenience.

the room was spacious. the location near the castle grounds was really nice (it gave a sense of grandeur). parking was plentiful and convenient. the hot shower was good after a day exploring.
the room was right above a pub. music from the pub was quite loud in my room. the menu in the inn was too limited for my taste. i had to drive into town to find a better selection.
