Good location for town, quiet hotel
Pros:

Comfortable bed, nice garden view. Electric shower was good (but terrifyingly loud!). Very friendly breakfast team, provided gluten-free bread options. Free parking for 2 motorcycles, Easy walk into the town, would recommend the Santa Marina restaurant (especially for coeliacs).

Cons:

Restaurant onsite but we were not able to use it as a party of 8 were already booked in and we were informed there would 'not be much left'! Limited continental breakfast options (8 am start).
Hardly any electrical sockets in the room and they were mostly in use for appliances. Could do with an update/modernisation.

Prachtig hotel!
Pros:

De locatie van dit hotel is prachtig. Mooie oprijlaan. Prachtige tuinen en parkje. Overal knusse zitplaatsen. Het was ontspannen en rustig. Ook binnen was het prachtig. Het hotel beschikt over verschillende vertrekken waar je gezellig kunt zitten..
Onze kamer lag op de eerste verdieping.. bereikbaar via een prachtig trappenhuis kamer grootte prima! Badkamer met ligbad. Grote kamer met zithoek en balkon waar we dan ook heerlijk hebben gezeten.
Het echtpaar wat het hotel runt of beheert zijn super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De eigenaresse heeft voor ons avondeten op verzoek gemaakt en we hadden gezellige gesprekken! Hun hondjes lopen gezellig rond.
Het ontbijt was top verzorgd.
Op verzoek warm eten bij het ontbijt.

Cons:

Het matras was iets doorgelegen maar ik ben rug hernia patiënt. En er waren te weinig stopcontacten.
Maar verder geen op/aanmerkingen.
