Decadent and Attentive Stay

The staff were cute and very accommodating. I received a complimentary Prosecco upon arrival and was able to check in early. The cabin room featured a shower room. The cocktail bar created a good atmosphere. The use of WhatsApp for communication was a clever idea I found useful.
The room felt a little bit small for the price I paid.

small room and service issues
small roompoor service
the "four poster classic room" was just too small. there wasn't any room to hang clothes and barely enough space to walk around the bed. the service was also not great, especially considering the price. i hit the help bell three times one morning but no one came. i had to go find someone myself.
