A unexpected oasis
Pros:

As soon as we opened the door to our room we were impressed with the decor, the cleanliness and the restful view. All the things you,d get in a 4*+ hotel. Jelly bean gift, warmer bottles in the fridge and large fluffy towels.
The staff at check-in ( in the tavern) were friendly and when we ate in the pub, the food was delicious and a good selection of drinks.

Clean, comfortable, but noisy on a Saturday night
Pros:

Great view and location

Cons:

Noise from children playing, screaming and running up and down a timber ramp ( thud thud thud) outside the tavern right
outside my front door was very disrupting. The shower door wouldn’t open all the way because of how the toilet was placed. It was not super easy to access.
