    The Elephant is located in a beautiful old building. The staff are lovely and the breakfast was great. The hotel is well situated, close to the centre of the town, but on a quiet street and with expansive views of the nearby mountains.

    Lovely hotel with rich history that's quite distinct from many of the chain hotels. Staff was very helpful and - particularly nice - there were no extra charges for bringing the dog, parking or even 2 glasses of champaign with the breakfast!
