The rooms and extensive facilities were lovely. The staff were kind, check-in was straightforward, and the complimentary bottle of wine was a pleasant surprise. Some amenities available in the room, like coffee, tea, and milk. No continental breakfast option was available. It's not close enough to shops, and you'd need a car to buy some small bites. In general, good option for accommodation.
