I recently stayed at this hotel for a wedding and had mixed feelings. On one hand, the location near the race circuit is great, and I appreciated the charming ambiance. However, my room was in dire need of maintenance, and the dining experience during breakfast left much to be desired. Service was hit-or-miss, which added to my overall dissatisfaction.

The hotel offers a unique rustic charm that's truly enchanting, and the staff at the wedding we attended were absolutely incredible. However, there were notable shortcomings with the organization of the event, particularly with the bar service and meal arrangements, which left some guests feeling let down. Overall, it's a lovely venue for weddings, but improvements are needed in handling busy events.
