Super!
Pros:

Prachtig bijna aan het water gelegen in een mooi dorpje. Super vriendelijk personeel, lekker eten - diner ook echt de moeite waard - en de ontbijtzaal kijkt uit over een mooie tuin en een beekje naar de zee. We wilden nog een extra nachtje blijven wat mogelijk was. We komen graag terug als we in de buurt moeten zijn!
