The hotel offers breathtaking views and a very large comfy bed in the rooms, but the bathroom's condition for hot water access needs improvement. The service with housekeeping is excellent, but there are no pet amenities available. Located by the river and in beautiful grounds, the setting is truly amazing. The dining experience features all very good quality products with an organic fruit selection, while the facilities are well-maintained. However, the price might not fully reflect the value for money.
