Beautiful rooms with a delicious breakfast, a lovely country stay in a gorgeous setting!
Pros:

Beautifully decorated rooms with good facilities in them as well as the lavatories in the pub itself.
Delicious food in the restaurant, though a little slow at times for the food to come out. We were warned about a lack of available staff so this is understandable.
I appreciated all of the provided information in the rooms as well as the kitchen’s flexibility with regards breakfast choices.

Cons:

Sadly our room had the wireless internet router above our bed which lit the room significantly at night with blue light which did impact our sleep to an extent. However, we didn’t hear any noise from the pub downstairs.
The tea and coffee provided with breakfast were also unfortunately quite cold.

Cosy pub with a nice dinner. Nice room with up to date facilities. Really nice garden to follow suit
Pros:

Very remote and quiet. It was nice to get away there in a cosy pub and beautiful garden

Cons:

Mattress was incredibly uncomfortable and gave me back issues. Lots of spiders inside the room too… as someone who has Arachnophobia, it wasn’t ideal

Landhotel mit mittlerem Management
Pros:

Frühstück war gut. Alles frisch gemacht auch wenn man ab und an Nachfragen durfte, wenn der Kaffee od. Tee aus war. Das Frühstück aus der Küche war gut.

Cons:

wenn die Öffnungszeiten angeschrieben stehen - könnte man ja auch erwarten in dieser Zeit an der Bar was bestellen zu können.... dies war leider bei uns nicht möglich.

Excellent accommodation with great food and lovely vibe
Pros:

A lovely establishment with great bedrooms. The room we stayed in was better than we expected. Large and clean with a really comfortable bed and the bathroom is one of the largest we have ever used in any accommodation. The staff were all very helpful and the food and drinks were excellent. Breakfast each morning was excellent and cooked to order with great fresh ingredients.

Cons:

No complaints
