Pros:

Very helpful staff, 10/10 to the chefs for the amazing food, the beds were very comfy, nice wee games room

Cons:

The hotel is dog friendly although With us having our dog with us we were disappointed to find out we couldn't take her into the restaurant to eat and had to have all meals in the bar, so we missed out on cereal and unlimited tea and coffee at breakfast which was disappointing. We had a family room, the layout was strange with the shower being in the room with no privacy,

Pros:

Alles sehr unkompliziert. Sehr nettes Personal. Essen im Pub war gut, Pizza ist sehr zu empfehlen und Fleischgerichte. Das Zimmer war sauber. Ok für max. 2 Nächte, wenn man tagsüber unterwegs ist.

Cons:

Kein privater Parkplatz, wie bei Booking. com beschrieben. War jedoch ok, Es in der Nähe zu parkieren. Frühstück wenig Liebe zum Detail. Die warmen Frühstücksgerichte waren gut, jedoch Arbeiter-Portionen. Im Twin-Room waren die Betten kleiner als an anderen Orten. Für grosse Menschen nicht geeignet. Veggie-Gerichte nicht zu empfehlen, viel Sauce, wenig Gemüse. Preis eher hoch für den Standard.
