Pros:

The inn is charming and quiet, with plenty of space inside the rooms and outside on the patios. It was lovely to have wine and cheese in the evenings and breakfast in the morning.

Gelungener Aufenthalt. Würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Pros:

Sehr schöne Anlage mit kleinem Pool, Gym und Whirlpool, Zimmer groß und sauber (wir hatten eine Suite mit Küchenzeile). Frühstücksbuffet ist - wie schon von anderen Gästen angemerkt - tatsächlich sehr gut.

Cons:

Direkt nebenan ist eine 24/7 Chevron Tankstelle. Da kommt etwas Lärm rüber, wenn man das Zimmer auf dieser Seite hat (war bei uns der Fall).
