Beter dan verwacht in een Inn die gastvrijheid begrijpt, eerlijk en uit overtuiging.
Pros:

De kamer is netjes, schoon en ruim. De Pub heeft goed eten, en de portie is ruim voldoende. Met een koud biertje of andere drank. De service was oprecht vriendelijk en netjes. Goed ontbijt, niets op aan te merken.

Cons:

Niets.
