Pros:

Le charme de l hôtel sur les photos m'a décidé de réserver celui-ci.
En réel, c'est encore mieux car il est au calme et dans un zone boisée style campagne avec des espaces très bien entretenus. Le personnel de l hôtel a été aux petits soins avec, que ce soit dans les réponses à nos messages comme pour l accueil et le service du pdj.
J'y retournerai sans hésiter car il est vraiment au calme tout en étant à proximité d Hamilton ou de Cambridge.

Cons:

Rien

Pros:

Well positioned on our way to Waitomo Caves. A wedding venue, so gardens were nice.

Cons:

Description states there may not be dinner available due Covid-19. That's well past, but still no dinner. Breakfast was continental and nice.

We enjoyed our stay - it suited us to be off the main road and to be close to the motorway to contin
Pros:

We were very impressed with the breakfast. There was a good selection of cereal, fruit and bread and it was very well laid out. The female staff member on duty that day kept the selection replenished and cleared items very quickly.

Cons:

One thing that could have improved our stay was to have music playing quietly in the reception area on arrival and also at the breakfast as there was no atmosphere.

Pros:

Super freundliches Personal.

Cons:

Sehr hellhörig. Für körperlich eingeschränkte Gäste leider nicht so geeignet, da kein Fahrstuhl vorhanden ( alle Zimmer 1. oder 2. Stock) und in dem Zimmer das wir hatten musste man 2 Stufen vom Flur in den Schlafbereich und auch 2 Stufen ins Bad.
