Das Personal ist sehr nett und das Frühstück ist auch gut.

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Für eine Nacht war es in Ordnung, aber ein zweites Mal würden wir das Hotel nicht buchen.

Great place with good people - recommend!
Pros:

Staff, service, room, bathroom (small but ok), comfort, attached public bar, breakfast, views, parking and location were all great!

Cons:

Our room was directly looked into from the dining room one side and was overlooked by a house on the other, so curtains were closed nearly all of the time 🙁

Pros:

Initially had problems finding the room, and also how to access the room at night when reception was closed. Breakfast - little choice if you don't eat a cooked breakfast.
