Deutlich abgewohntes Zimmer, mangelnde Sauberkeit und ein insgesamt nicht stimmiges Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Pros:

Das Haus wirkt von außen sehr ansprechend, und der Garten ist schön angelegt.

Cons:

Der Zustand und die Sauberkeit des Zimmers waren inakzeptabel für diese Preiskategorie: stark abgewohnte Oberflächen, deutliche Beschädigungen an Holzverkleidungen und Armaturen, eine über die gesamte Länge gesprungene Glasscheibe zum Außenbereich, ein unebener Teppichboden sowie erhebliche Staubablagerungen an Lüftungen und Glasflächen im Bad. Zusätzlich war das Zimmer nur mithilfe eines mobilen Heizkörpers ausreichend zu beheizen (im Sommer).

Auch der Service konnte nicht überzeugen: Der Check-in wirkte gehetzt und es wurde keine Unterstützung beim Gepäck angeboten. Ein im Zimmer angekündigtes Willkommensangebot war nicht vorhanden, und das Frühstück entsprach weder in Qualität noch in Auswahl der Hotelkategorie oder dem aufgerufenen Preis.

Insgesamt ein sehr enttäuschendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Bei diesem Preis erwarten wir einen deutlich besseren Zustand, mehr Sorgfalt und ein stimmiges Gesamterlebnis.

Pros:

great service, breakfast and lucky enough to snag an upgrade to a bigger room. The garden is stunning plus I love the ease of parking on site/being out of the city a bit for privacy. Third stay.

Pros:

The staff were beautifully personal giving an immediate homely feel.

The shower and bathroom were spacious, well lit.

Turn down camomile tea was a nice touch, as was the variety of pillows on offer (although the ones we had on check in were perfect).

A huge a very comfy bed.
