9.2/10 Wonderful! (138 reviews)
Very pictureque setting by the river. Nice rooms with balconies over looking river. The restaurant is very expensive. The grounds are spacious with plenty to do. The pool needs more up keep. There were dead insects floating around. The water was a bit cold.

8.6/10 Excellent! (79 reviews)
While the hotel itself is very charming and does boast great amenities such as a cold plunge and sauna. But the walls are extremely thin. You hear everything even with the provided earplugs they give you. For the price you expect to sleep peaceful and it was no where near that. A dog was left unattended in its room and barked until 1 in the morning along with hearing everything going on in the room next door. I would highly suggest only staying here on the nights where it’s priced reasonably and you’re ok with little to no sleep.
