Lovely Hotel would definitely stay again!
Pros:

Beautiful Hotel in such a scenic place, it had a very large garden space for your dog to run about safely in.
Food was amazing such a great high standard, staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Didn't have a lift to take heavy suitcase/luggage up to the top floor, but it is a very old building that has been converted into a hotel. Stairs were very steep and small on second floor.

Prima verblijf goede kamers
Pros:

Ontbijt was prima. Avondeten iets minder.
De patat en uienringen rookt en smaakt naar vis! In dezelfde frituur gebakken lijkt ons waar de vis ingebskken werd. Verder prima!

Cons:

Het eten vooral de patat smaak en geur.
