Pros:

Godt utvalg på frokostbordet, og maten smakte godt. Veldig bra med lokalt syltetøy 😊 fantastisk å kunne spise ute på terrassen med så god utsikt, spesielt i så godt vær 🌞

Cons:

Det virket som om det var litt for lite folk på jobb for å dekke opp for ekstra belastning når de store gruppene skulle spise. Men de som var på jobb gjorde så godt de kunne. Savnet lokal ost.

Geweldige locatie, super vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel
Pros:

Schitterend gerenoveerde kamer, enorm vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. De locatie is ronduit fantastisch en het eten goed. Een van onze metgezellen had een kamer die niet helemaal beviel (rookgeur) en kreeg zonder problemen een nieuwe (betere) toegewezen.

Cons:

Het hotel is flink verouderd bij de meeste gemeenschappelijke ruimtes en sommige kamers. Als je een gerenoveerde kamer hebt is het geweldig, maar als je een oudere hebt is het erg oudbollig en (mijns insziens) niet het geld waard. Het zwembad binnen was koud (24 graden).
