A unique hotel full of history and character, wonderfully clean and elegant with excellent hosts.
Pros:

The hosts were amazing and very welcoming. The history of the building is fascinating and worth a visit even if you aren't staying at the hotel! The rooms are glorious and decorated in a unique and elegant fashion and the breakfast was delicious and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay whilst attending a family wedding at the Royal Historic Dockyards.

Cons:

Nothing - it was a perfect venue for us and we would highly recommend it.

Pros:

Das Haus ist absolut außergewöhnlich. Man wohnt wie in einem Museum, voller Kunst. Beim Frühstück wird alles sehr schön dekoriert und serviert (Plastik-frei), mit viel Stil und Flair. Es gibt eine urige Privat-Bar, wo wir nette Nachbarn und eine Barkeeper-Persönlichkeit kennengelernt haben. Auch sehr schönes Zimmer mit gepflegtem Bad. Ein rundum eindrucksvoller Aufenthalt. Dieses Haus ist ein seltenes Kleinod!

One of those places you are really excited to find.
Pros:

Lovely people, great history, location and decor.

Cons:

Because it is an incredibly old, wooden, framed building don't be surprised if noise carries between floors.
