Very average for £119 room, not as expected as a returning customer
Pros:

I have been here for a few times and it was alwasy ok despite the age of the premises. I booked a room which turned out to be one of their kabin. The offer never specified it was a kabin, located in their outside annex. The rooms are more basic than the others, windows are old, no soap provided in the shower (despite what was on offer), not as clean as it should be, very small bathroom and shower, basic mattresses and no breakfast included (again not as advertised when i booked). This is an ok stay for one night, but i felt the price was high for a basic accomodation with hidden fees (room advertised with breakfast, but not actually included in that price). I stayed a few times here and this is the first time that i feel the need to send not so good feedbacks. I hope it helps improving the premises.

My stay was comfortable. The room allocated for us was lovely. My only disappointment is being
Pros:

I liked to decor in the hotel. The room was lovely.

Cons:

I did not like being charged twice for our stay. The hotel took payment and so did Booking.com. I booked through Booking.com for our stay so that should have been the only money taken in payment.

I feel extremely letdown.
Cons:

I was put in a room outside the main building that was not at all clean or functional to stay in. I will never stay here again.

Fraudsters, Unclean, Dirty
Pros:

The location and history of the hotel.

Cons:

Rooms were unclean, dirty wine glass on nightstand... Told the front desk I wasn't staying there and cancelled the remaining days. They have never refunded me for the nights I did not stay there. Recent positive reviews are fake.

Sehr tolles Hotel, sehr gutes Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis, gratis Parkplätze und optimale Lage.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut, das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Tolles Mittag- und Abendessen, toller Gastgarten im Freien. Optimal für Familien oder Gäste mit Hunde. Abends ist es auch ein gemütlicher Treffpunkt im Ort (Pub), einschließlich Tratsch mit Einheimischen, wer möchte.

Cons:

Der Wäscheberg im obersten Stock müsste nicht sein.
