Sosta veloce a Barrow in Furnes
Pros:

Lo staff è stato molto accogliente e gentile, siamo riusciti a cenare nonostante a pochi minuti dalla chiusura della cucina e sia il cibo che le bevande erano buone. La colazione a la carte era buona e abbondante ma il non poter scegliere cosa prendere da un buffet implica uno spreco per chi non è abituato a quel tipo di colazione. Comunque il feedback generale è positivo.

Wouldn't stay again
Pros:

Rooms were clean and comfortable, good TV with Netflix etc available

Cons:

Main issue was the shower (room 9) was scaling hot to the point I couldn't even put my foot on the shower tray , it wouldn't make any difference turning the controls from Hot to Cold just stayed the same. Also stood on a small piece of glass on the bathroom floor

We had dinner and the food was really poor , we had 2 Pizzas and the bases were raw, they did remove the cost from the bill, the next morning we went down for breakfast , ordered 2 Breakfast Buns, 1 sausage , 1 Bacon and we got 2 sandwiches instead.

Great winter break.
Pros:

Location perfect for beach walking and getting into town. Good food in the restaurant. Nice to have bottled water in the rooms. Housemaids excellent. Great Wi-Fi. Room was a nice temperature, not too hot, as we were able to adjust the heating ourselves.

Cons:

Had to ask for two sets of towels in our room for two guests, as otherwise we only received one set. No coat hangers.
