Wauw!
Pros:

Wauw, plek 100% een dikke 10! Wat een uitzicht en wat een kamer heerlijk
Het avondeten heerlijk, net als het ontbijt wat wat simpeler was maar wel goed. Echt zeker weten boeken. Het liefst waren we hier nog een paar nachten gebleven.

Cons:

Het personeel praatte en lachtte om ons dat vonden we niet prettig, maar daarna hebben ze het niet weer gedaan.
En ook het kippengeluid was erg aanwezig!

Wir reissten nach einer Nacht ab, die beate Entscheidung!
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist sensationell gelegen.
Ein fantastischer Garten und Trail.
Ein tolles Konzept Farm to Table.

Cons:

Wir wurden upgegraded. Das war ein absoluter Fehler. Das neue Haus ist weger schön, gemütlich noch ruhig gelegen. Es hat Schimmel am Vorhang, der Geschmack immZimmer war grausam, süsslich.
Es vibrierte und ratterte die ganze Nacht.
Es war der Deckenfan des Nachbarzimmers.

Das Essen war knapp, die Damen wollen eigentlich auch nicht arbeiten und eine Decke wurde uns auch nicht angeboten.

Pros:

Super freundliches Personal, sehr hilfsbereit.
Essen war super gut und außreichend, man hat gemerkt, dass sie das meiste selber anbauen.
Die Zimmer waren sehr groß und man hatte vom 2. Stock aus einen unglaublichen Ausblick auf die Nebelwälder.
Hat einen eigenen kleinen Park, durch den man gehen kann und Tiere entdecken kann.

Cons:

Gibt leider nur eine Zufahrtsstraße - wenn die mal gesperrt ist, kann es zu Verzögerungen kommen.
