downundergal's travel recommendations

This was once the residence of a noble family. The staff are very welcoming and the Reception is just like being in your living room complete with a great selection of books. Our room was in the new wing of the cottage on the second floor for US40 per night and we were lucky enough to have a view of the river from our private balcony. The room was huge with a lot of natural timber touches, lime washed walls studded with contrasting dark rocks, polished timber floors with rattan mats and the ceiling was also timber with exposed beams. It was a pleasure to stay in. The only down side was the bed was rock hard.
