The hotel IS getting a bit tired around the edges. It's true. I found the food in the Stove restaurant somewhat underwhelming. the SERVICE was slow, and my meal wasn't particularly hot. What a bummer!

The grounds were kept beautifully. my room was wonderfully homely and inviting, making it a space to unwind after a day exploring. i especially valued the friendly nature of the staff. They were always ready to assist with any request, further enhancing my experience.

the breakfast buffet had a nice selection, it offered a variety of options.. i liked the option to have eggs freshly cooked to order, though there was a bit of a wait sometimes. the stove restaurant requires reservations, so make sure you book when you arrive.

Room 105 had two amazing baths, a gorgeous spacious layout, and a huge comfortable bed! the shower head was also a standout feature.. the room's proximity to the stove restaurant was a real bonus, especially given the wet weather. i found the rushing water sounds quite beautiful too.
