Great location and staff … but poor value for money
Pros:

The staff were friendly, engaging and very helpful. One in particular who we talked to at breakfast time was very interested in the history of the area and shared a lot with us, which was fascinating. The location was also excellent, and there are very few other places to stay in the immediate area. The setting is also beautiful.

Cons:

We felt as though we were staying in a pub, which given the price of the room, was not good value. Our room was noisy up until late evening, given the bar in below in the same building and people talking until late into the night outside. There was a green emergency light in the room which, although it looks insignificant by day, cast a ghostly green light into the room all night.

A great location with heavenly views but the rooms are quite basic for the price.
Pros:

Location, location, location! It's a dream for those who enjoy the countryside with fantastic views all round. The staff were very friendly and the food and drink there was varied and very good.

Cons:

For the cost I thought the room was a bit basic; everything was there but it just seemed a bit pokey and drab. Th rest ofthe facilities were fine.

Really enjoyed it and would go back.
Pros:

Location, rooms /chalets were lovely and beds very comfortable

Cons:

Boots Bar too small for people needing it - food was lovely, but strange guests can play cards at their tables while people queued and waited for tables to eat!

Pros:

The location, the boots bar was cozy. The room was big and spacious. The product in the bathroom was lovely.

Cons:

The whole inn was really worn down. The bedroom was super boring, and there have been made no effort to make it look nice. The carpet in the room was obvious dirty. The bed was very small but comfy. There was a very small tv that didn’t work properly. The Bathroom floor was very dirty. The floor mat got blackish after I used it to the dry up the water that leaked out of the shower. The breakfast was very disappointing and only lasts about 1,5 hour. So it’s very cramped and there wasn’t much besides bread, yoghurt, ham, cheese, croissants and a muffins. Some more fruits and vegetables would have been nice. For the price for 1 night I would definitely not stay again. The price for sure didn’t match the quality.

Die Gegend ist toll!
Pros:

Die Gegend ist wunderbar. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Essen war gut.

Cons:

Die Unterkunft war zwar sauber, aber sehr einfach und hellhörig. (Wir waren in einem Bungalow untergebracht.)
Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis passte nicht.
