Ideal for our needs.
Pros:

Location was ideal for our stay. Only had breakfast which was plentiful. Staff pleasant . Good shower , Room was large and comfy enough for our stay.

Cons:

Due to the heatwave it would have been better if fans were available in breakfast area. We had to eat outside and in corridor with outside doors open to be comfortable.

Cons:

Geen airco en gebrekkige ventilators. In de extreem warme temperatuur toen we er waren was het echt niet aangenaam. Moeten slapen met raam open bij zo'n drukke baan is geen cadeau

Nice hotel overall with a few issues
Pros:

The hotel was clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast had lots of choice and it was a good location for our day at wilderness festival

Cons:

The room was very hot, the windows needed to be open and the fan that they provide on. There was a wedding held in the venue on the Saturday night and unfortunately it meant it was very noisy with the base of the music. Also because the room was so hot and we had the windows open it meant we could hear the noise from the patio with people outside until after 11pm.

Cons:

warmes Zimmer unterm Dach ohne Klimaanlage, Zimmer befand sich über Hochzeitsgesellschaft mit lauter Musik und oberhalb der Terrasse, auf der noch nachts laut gesprochen wurde

Pros:

Uns hat die typische englische Anthmosphäre sehr gefallen. Wunderschöner Außensitz. Hat richtig Flair. Auch der Fitnessraum ist gut gelungen. Abendessen war ausgezeichnet.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Erdgeschoss, deswegen konnten wir nur den oberen Teil der Fenster öffnen. Aber obwohl es unter Tags heiß war, ging es erstaunlich gut.
