Enorm tegenvallend, lijkt niet op de foto’s
Pros:

Prima omgeving

Cons:

- Op de foto’s lijkt het veel mooier
- Geen personeel aanwezig
- Ontzettend onpersoonlijk verblijf
- Klaargezet treurig ontbijt met alleen maar niet-verse, voorverpakte dingen
- Ontzettend gehorige kamers
- Je voelt aan alles dat de eigenaren het als een melkkoe beschouwen, zit geen ziel of passie aan
- Dorp is vergane glorie met veel gesloten hotels
- Schimmel in de badkamer

It was good for a short stay.
Pros:

The bed is very comfortable and the room is warm.

Cons:

It would be better if there are more clothes hangers for hanging clothes or towels inside the toilet.

Beautiful rooms
Pros:

Beautifully furnished rooms in a gorgeous location.

Cons:

No staff on site so no bar or restaurant and we didn’t know this at time of booking. However when we needed help, our messages were answered quickly on the app and details of a local restaurant were provided so we were able to get food.
