Outstanding stay in a most charming setting.
Pros:

The charm was immediate and the staff were very welcoming and sincere. The cleanliness and presentation was second to none. The food was right on point with fresh produce and well cooked meals. The manager Carl was helpful and welcoming and could not do any more to make me feel welcome. His staff were also very genuine and friendly. I loved my stay.

Cons:

Could not fault the place

Goed
Pros:

.
Erg gastvrij. Onze kamer die we geboekt hadden was erg klein. Werd meteen een alternatief aangeboden, waar wij heel blij mee waren. Lekker gegeten.

Overall our stay was very enjoyable and would consider returning.
Pros:

Location, cleanliness, facilities, tidy finish and presentation , easy parking.

Cons:

Our room was a little cramped and awkward but adequate for one or two nights stay. Full breakfast cold on second morning but I didn’t want to wait for it to be replaced with a hot one.

Delightful and yummy all round.staff fabulous
Pros:

Petite room but beautifully appointed. Excellent bathroom. Breakfast and dinner was superb.

Cons:

For those that struggle with warm rooms and too bright at night please note room 7 has an exterior light that stays on all night. Hence windows were open but shutters had to block light. Discussed with management and could not be solved due to health and safety.

The weather was miserable.
Pros:

It was a lovely building in a good location.

Cons:

Room 4 is very cramped for a grown man. The TV did’t work properly and kept going blank.
