Convenient and comfortable stay with welcoming staff at every turn.
Pros:

The bedroom was clean, warm, well provisioned while the bathroom was similarly well found. The staff in the restaurant/bar/reception were most polite and helpful. The food was generous in its portion, very tasty and delivered swiftly and with a smile.
