Great location, great breakfast and lovely staff
Pros:

Really welcoming staff, super clean, breakfast was exceptional. Family friendly and made us feel welcome.

Cons:

We were a group of 9 in 3 rooms and 1 of the rooms felt hot. However, two fans were provided so a small issue and it wouldn’t stop us staying here again.

Angenehmes Haus mit kleinen Zimmern
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, angenehme Atmosphäre beim Frühstück. Sehr hundefreundlich (+10 Pfund/Nacht). Der Hund bekommt ein eigenes Würstchen serviert. Parkplatz direkt hinter dem Haus.

Cons:

Zimmer und Bad sehr klein. Keinerlei Ablagen und Haken im Bad. Im Sommer sehr warm im Zimmer (es gibt aber einen Standventilator). Bett ziemlich schmal.
