Nestled in a leafy glade of maple trees next to the station, this lovely hotel has cosy, traditional decor, a beautiful garden complete with a pond, and a sunny conservatory. Large bedrooms mix interesting old furniture, rag rugs and wooden floors but are far from fussy. Use of the sauna and steam bath is included. Book well ahead, and note it's generally easier via third-party booking websites.
