Decepcionante e a pousada precisa de renovação. Está tudo com um ar antiquado .
Pros:

O pequeno almoço foi decepcionante.
A travessa do fiambre e queijo estava vazia e não repuseram. Os empregados não perguntaram o que queríamos tomar. A única preocupação que tiveram assim que entramos foi avisar que a máquina do café estava avariada. Não compensaram essa parte negativa com o oferecimento imediato de uma bebida quente. É como fazem em qualquer alojamento.

Cons:

Uma das recepcionistas era muito antipatica.
Perguntamos a que horas era o check out e disse-nos com ar arrogante que era as 11 horas . Quando questionamos a hora, disse com um ar desagradado Que era essa a política desde o COVID.

Excelente. Otimo para recarregar baterias.
Pros:

Um local com uma tranquilidade excelente. Pouco barulho, só o som dos passarinhos. Piscina boa. Restaurante do Hotel muito bom, assim como o pequeno almoço. O local / Castelo é lindo.

Pros:

The property including the gardens and the pool were lovely. The room was great the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was large. The castle itself as well kept and worth the stay.

Cons:

The food was great in the restaurant however the service seem to be confused at best. I would definitely have dinner there again but I got the feel that it may have been the start of the season and not all staff serving in the restaurant were comfortable with what they were doing.

Pros:

Localização, simpatia dos funcionários, o edificio e a sua envolvente

Cons:

Quartos precisam de uma remodelação; o serviço no restaurante deixou um pouco a desejar (muito tempo de espera, trocas de pedidos) embora a comida fosse bastante boa
