Lovely family run hotel
Pros:

We can highly recommend this lovely old hotel, splendid position and parking.
The hosts John and Lisa were welcoming, attentive, helpful and lovely, nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was clean and comfortable and the food was delicious especially the well presented Greek yogurt and fresh fruit. There was also the added bonus of being able to use a communal fridge and kitchen area for snacks and takeaways for when the restaurant and bar area is closed We drank our fizz in the bar area. All in all a lovely short break.

Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet. auf Grund unserer kurzfristigen Buchung war nur das kleinste Zimmer frei. Das Bett war zwar etwas schmal, sonst war es trotzdem sehr angenehm.
