Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a pleasant stay with friendly staff and a convenient location amongst vineyards. The rooms could use better cleanliness measures, but the overall experience is enjoyable. Price is reasonable considering the amenities.
The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms overlooking the vines, situated conveniently by the reception. The location, amidst an English vineyard with footpaths to explore, is perfect for wine enthusiasts and nature lovers. Dining experiences feature freshly cooked dishes served in the vineyard, although wait times can be a challenge at peak hours.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel surrounded by vineyards. The rooms were clean and simple, although the bathroom design was basic but sufficient. The service was friendly and helpful, with some delightful personal touches. The location was perfect for enjoying the vineyard views and sunset over a glass of their own wine, although disrupted slightly by early morning noise. The dining experience was delightful, especially the home-cooked meals. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel's location was top-notch with easy access to local attractions. The rooms, overlooking the vineyard, were spacious and immaculately clean, though the eclectic decor might not appeal to all. The staff's service was exceptional, going above and beyond even with a late check-in. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the picturesque vineyard views. The facilities were well-maintained, adding to the comfortable stay.
