    cozy atmosphere
    delicious food
    missing bathroom soap

    Celebrating our anniversary here was a real treat! We loved the cozy atmosphere by the garden and the quiet retreat it offered, along with having a fantastic meal that was hard to match anywhere else. The only hiccup was not finding any soap in the bathroom, but it didn’t dampen our spirits at all – I’d definitely say go for the delicious menu! 🎉

    Exceptional stay with stunning views

    I had a lovely stay in a spacious room with breathtaking views of the countryside.

The dinner menu offered a delightful variety, and the breakfast was delicious, featuring locally sourced ingredients.
