“The grounds here are quite lovely, particularly the garden spaces that many rooms open onto, offering a real sense of calm. While some areas of the rooms themselves show their age, the staff's genuine helpfulness and the quality of the food, especially the grilled steaks, stand out as significant advantages. It's a place where the warmth of the service and the flavor of a well-cooked meal truly make an impression.”
