I don’t think that the hotel are trying for repeat guests.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

There was still waste in the bin from the previous guest.

The cold water pressure was appalling the shower head just dripped on top of the bath taps. To get any pressure you had to turn the hot up and it was scalding. You had to shower with one hand and the other holding the shower head.

No milk was provided with the tea or coffee.

The bath/shower towels were very small.

The shower screen door did not fit and leaked all over the floor.

Breakfast was poor and the staff at breakfast unwelcoming.

Schönes Haus!
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, angenehme Atmosphäre, umfangreiches, leckeres Frühstück, die Zimmer hinten im Garten sind sehr geräumig und praktisch.
Jederzeit gern wieder!!!

Cons:

Die Klimaanlage ging zwar nicht, aber dafür gab es jeden Abend Getränke aufs Haus und natürlich einen Ventilator. Kein Problem für uns.

Cumplió y superó expectativas.
Pros:

El desayuno exepcional. Había de todo y de calidad.

Cons:

Pedimos una triple y la cama extra que pusieron no tenía puesta la almohada ni el almohadón/cojín que tenía la cama de matrimonio. Tuvimos que coger una almohada que había en el armario.
