Very warm and welcoming by staff upon arriving (Harvey) met us and escorted us to our room very polite.
Manager and var staff great, compliments to the chefs and our waitress in the mornings Brilliant will stay here again for sure.

Cons:

Nothing a bother except a shelf would make a great difference in the shower to put your shampoo etc on .asI have an ileostmy bag fitted difficult to bend down .plus a little spruce up in room walls etc other than that brilliant.

Not peaceful but nice
Pros:

Location

Cons:

It was noisy. The room is above the bar area so it's not quiet until 11 then the church bell rings every hour so expect that when you stay.

Ich hatte alles was ich brauchte, freundliche Ansprechpartner im Hotel. Jederzeit wieder!
Pros:

Super nettes Personal. Sehr zuvorkommend. Sehr leckeres und umfangreiches Frühstück. Das Gebäude ist älter aber innen sehr schön hergerichtet. Sehr angenehme und warmherzige Atmosphäre. Würde ich jeder Zeit wieder buchen.

Cons:

Es war alles da was man brauchte das einzigste an dem man langfristig arbeiten könnte, es dauerte etwas bis oben im Zimmer warmes Wasser kam und der Wasserdruck war füre meinen Geschmack etwas schwach. Wenn man etwas verbessern wollen würde, wäre es tatsächlich das. Schlimm war das aber nicht, ich musste das Wasser aber eben kurz laufen lassen. Verstehe auch wenn in einem älteren Gebäude das manchmal etwas schwierig ist.

Pleasant.
Pros:

Friendly staff, nice bar area, and great breakfast.

Cons:

No dedicated car parking for guests so had to drive around for 15mins looking for street parking in local area. All rooms have to be accessed via very step, narrow staircase.
