Pork and quality produce sourced from local suppliers is served in the relaxed French-style dining room.

cozy bedfriendly staffroom planoverpriced drinks
The bed was AMAZING!!! I found it so comfortable and cozy. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful .
Finding my room was difficult and I think the hotel should provide a printed plan. It was like a rabbit warren. The food was just ok and not somewhere I would choose as a restaurant. Drinks are overpriced.
