Messengers used to spend the night in this former millhouse, to recover from the toils of their journeys. The hotel remains true to this long-standing tradition of offering hospitality to passing guests, and now combines modern comfort with the feeling of being in a bygone age.

These peaceful guest rooms feature modern facilities yet are furnished in the style of the original millhouse which once stood here. - Hotellrum
