10/10 Excellent
"This was a very beautiful hotel. Nice breakfast buffet and beautiful grounds. Parking is extremely limited so reserve in advance to secure a spot in their tiny garage. We did not use the spa services as we were out and about. We had a room with a balcony and a river view and it was perfect."
