The hotel is not fancy but it doesn't have to be. The chief/manager was so very kind and made me a packed lunch instead of the contineal breakfast. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Was a really special spot and one of the highlights of my trip.

The hotel was nice, had hot tubs, a bar and restaurant. The rooms were nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant, opting to try all of the sharing board options which were all great. The Mushroom Soup main was also lovely. Great hotel and staff.
