Basic facilities. Bit of a strange smell in the room, could have been due to the hot weather. Loose toilet seat. Relatively small double bed.
Quality of shower and furniture could be better. Couldn‘t find WiFi code in the room.

Pros:

The young man who checked us in was very welcoming,chatty and friendly.

Cons:

We stayed in room 3. The door handle was loose on the door, there was no lock on the bathroom door and when we flushed the toilet it felt like the toilet was going to come off the wall.

Pros:

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the hotel. Staff are friendly,it has beautiful surroundings and food is great. We stayed here as we were racing, the owner went above and beyond to ensure we had breakfast at 3:30am so we could leave in time to race 😀. We will return in the future!

Pros:

Very clean and near where we wanted to be.

Cons:

We got back one night just after 9pm , door to bar was open but no one about, waited for half an hour to get a drink at the bar but no one came, even tried ringing their phone number. They had shut bar early and there was no sign or anything on bar but it says outside open until 11pm.

Für einen Kurzurlaub von wenigen Tagen ist das Hotel okay.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war gut. Das Hotel ist doch etwas abgelegen und ohne Auto wäre man verloren. Für ein paar Tage ist es eine ausreichend gute Unterkunft - für längere Zeit doch eher ungeeignet.

Cons:

Die Ausstattung des Bades war nicht ausreichend. Ein Haartrockner gehört heutzutage einfach zum Standard.
