I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which boasted a prime location right next to a beautiful castle. The rooms were spacious and modern, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining options were not great, especially the breakfast. The pool area was nice, but it could have been a bit larger for the number of guests. Overall, the value for money was decent, although there were some shortcomings.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which boasts a great location right beside the golf course. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. While the dining options could be improved, the overall value for money was noticeable. The facilities were lovely, providing nice amenities like a pool. However, I did find the Wi-Fi to be a bit of a hassle since it wasn't included in the price.

This hotel is a unique gem situated right in a castle dating back to 1180, which really adds to the charm of the stay. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the staff is incredibly friendly, making our experience very pleasant overall. Although the dining menu was limited, the available meals were of good quality.
