Exceptional - Historic - Comfortable
Pros:

The room and connected bathroom is very comfortable and the view to the paddock with the donkeys is really nice. The common guest areas also are very tastefully decorated and wonderful places to relax. We loved being able to walk around the gardens, feed the donkeys and just find a sunny spot to enjoy a cup of tea or drink. What made it especially personal for us is the fact that my grandfather and his siblings grew up here in the 1890s. To be able to be in the street, in the home where he lived from age 1 to 21 is exceptional.

Pros:

Vriendelijk ontvangen. Ontzettend mooie lokatie en een bijzonder pand. Heerlijk ontbeten. Keurig nette kamers.

Cons:

Het waren warme dagen en er was geen airco. S nachts behoorlijk warm gehad ondanks de ventilatoren. Maar dit was ook het enige wat niet zo fijn was. Verder echt top!
