Feeling scammed
Pros:

There's an open field

Cons:

It was such a waste of money, staff gave us no service. They were mia, no towels, no breakfast and we paid. Noone at the desk to check out. I feel scammed. Absolutely would never come back

Pros:

Friendly staff and beautiful garden and great to have a house with an open hearth.
The house was a bit dark and the toilet was not well adjusted to the floor. The shower was in the bath tub and a bit simple. The restaurant was friendly but the breakfast was mainly warm food and we are not used to that.
