First of all, it feels like you're pulling up to your own private mansion. When they say boutique, it's a very accurate description to be fair and in the best of ways. Being offered a drink and a cold towel upon checking in was a really nice touch as well :) Warm welcome indeed. From staff, the rooms, the hot tubs, service in the restaurant, everything was top-notch. The Hotel Managers Darsh, was absolutely outstanding and always made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough, so don't hesitate. It's worth it.

This was the best thing for our mental health and our marriage. So relaxing and private and quiet with the sounds of nature and bird song. Loved not hearing traffic and really feeling that difference between city and country. We enjoyed all the extra touches like the marshmallows and the hot water bottles. The outdoor bath was huge and incredible! It was awesome to be able to cook for ourselves and that fireplace was the best. The hosts were so friendly and informative and this was our best experience yet. Thank you so much

This is a great house—comfortable, clean, modern and in a good location. What I liked most was that the house was already warm when we arrived, with the heating turned on beforehand. The host also thoughtfully provided menu boards from nearby restaurants, including some discounts, which helped us quickly decide where to have dinner. Each room and the living room are very spacious and the house is surrounded by electric fences, making us feel very safe despite the house's city center location.

What a great place to stay. The apartment was clean, comfy and warm (it was the coldest night of the year so far). Beds were super comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The car parks were around the back and couldn't be seen from the road, so it was safe to park the motorbike. And extra parking available on the road. Rose apartments are an easy drive into the city centre or a flat 15 minute walk. We'd definitely stay here again.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the motel room was! The layout of the room was perfect. I slept best in bed, and the private spa was the icing on the cake. The room had everything one could ask for. It's the best location to access everything. If you get a chance to read the book about the origins of the motel do so! The cats are also a valued addition. I will be staying here again.
