The hotel is nestled in a beautiful location, surrounded by serene sheep fields and offering a delightful beer garden with a wide menu selection. The rooms boast large, comfortable beds with stunning views and are both impeccably clean and well-maintained. The downstairs bar area is a highlight, but the noise level can be a drawback at times.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a nice view. The service was excellent, and the location was perfect, right down to the Aqueduct and in the heart of the village. The dining experience was enjoyable, with included Vienna Beef hot dogs. However, the facilities were not very extensive.
