Parfait pour y passer une nuit
Pros:

Quasiment le seul hotel à des km à la ronde. Mais très bien, avec un restaurant au top. Le style date un peu mais franchement, c'est propre, agréable, spacieux et calme. Rien à dire.

Good hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Great location on the NC500 route with beautiful views. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was large and well equipment including a bath. Breakfast had a good range of options both hot and cold. The staff were very helpful and friendly and there was plenty of parking.

Cons:

The hotel was expensive compared to others. The room only lacked reading lights and was otherwise very comfortable. The restaurant was the only choice in the area and the food was ok but not amazing.
