Als wir das historische Hotel betreten haben , fühlten wir uns wohl.Einige Restaurierungen täten gut
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Der Parkplatz direkt am Hotel war sehr praktisch. Das Zimmer war groß. Frühstück war sehr gut und umfangreich.

Cons:

Wie wir auf das Hotel zugegangen sind, waren wir doch etwas enttäuscht. Von außen sah es wie unbewohnt aus. Die Fenster und Verkleidungen benötigen eine dringende Zuwendung. Auch im Badezimmer wäre eine Restaurierung sinnvoll.

Friendly staff and a decent breakfast.

Our bathroom was tiny with loose floor tiles and smelt of damp. The shower head was loose and the enclosure itself tiny.

Pleasant stay and friendly staff
Pros:

Breakfast was good and freshly cooked though the staff were a bit overwhelmed as it was busy and they struggled to keep up. Would benefit from more staff!

Cons:

No shower attachment in the bathroom so difficult to wash hair although they did leave a jug in there.
