I found the hotel to be a charming place nestled in a quaint village, with beautiful surroundings ideal for exploring the area. The room I stayed in was cozy with a quirky design and a large, comfy bed. However, the two steep staircases to access the room made it a bit challenging, and the lack of wardrobe may not suit a longer stay. The dining experience was excellent, featuring delicious options, and the outdoor area with pizza ovens added to the charm. Overall, a delightful stay with some minor room limitations.

My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable. The room was a delight, though a bit noisy and warm above the kitchen area, but opening the window helped. The bed was comfy, and the bathroom was a good size with a giant bath that I unfortunately didn't have time to use. The location in the quaint village by an old watermill was charming, and the outside area with an outdoor kitchen and pizza ovens was lovely. The service was friendly, and the dining experience was good with some minor issues. However, the hotel offered unique facilities that were convenient for our needs.

The dining experience was pleasant overall, with some delicious original dishes served in the restaurant. However, there were minor issues with the fruit juices tasting off, which was a bit disappointing.

The hotel is located in an old watermill just 4 miles from where I was working, accessible to local attractions, in a quaint village I loved. The outside area with an outdoor kitchen and pizza ovens was a highlight, although the extractor noise and kitchen smell downstairs were drawbacks.

Although the room didn't live up to the photo of the reserved room, it was comfy and especially cozy in Mallyshag, the nicest room.

The traditional shabu-shabu dining experience was a nice touch but receiving a note stating that breakfast was no longer available to our room was disappointing.
