Für einen Kurzaufenthalt gut
Pros:

Das Frühstück war umfangreich und sehr fein.
Die Lage vom Flughafen zum Übernachten ist empfehlenswert und die Distanz ist nahe. Wir würden diese Unterkunft jederzeit wieder wählen. Auch das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Es fällt mir nichts ein.

A really homely place to stay
Pros:

Loved the decor- pictures& settings in public spaces. Rooms are a good size & well fitted, lovely to have an outdoor space

Cons:

Pillows were not soft. Not so good for a bad neck.
Lovely chairs in dining area but for me as an older person in their 80's
Were heavy to manoeuvre making it difficult to pull them in under you & hard to push out to get up as one needs assistance at this age.
