Great location, excellent service, and perfect for a group
Pros:

The warm service, the onsite activities (billiards and darts), the onsite restaurant & store, the 24/7 coffee/tea/hot chocolate machine. We didn’t get a chance to use the spa/sauna or visit the microbrewery, but it was great to have the option.

Pros:

Bon tracte, bon esmorzar. Les habitacions estan bé de mida.

Cons:

Al bany de l'habitació no hi havia sabó de mans.
No crec que el preu estigui justificat (el vam agafar perquè no hi havia més opcions disponibles a la zona).
