Pros:

It was 20 mins from the ferry crossing. It exceeded our expectations. Especially on the way back we booked the last room it was a suite and it was beautiful

Amazing accommodation in an idyllic setting.
Pros:

The Alkham Valley is delightful and to find this level of accommodation in such an idyllic location is a huge bonus. From the minute we arrived we were treated like special guests. The staff are very focussed on our comfort. The room was good. The bed was comfortable. Plenty of hot water and towels. Bottled water each day very much appreciated. The breakfast each day was excellent. We dined in and it to was amazing with local produce on offer. The free brownies each day. The coffee machine. There was free secure parking for our hire car. It's was an amazing stay. Highly recommend and if we are back we will stay again.

Cons:

One small thing was the power points are all at knee level which made it a bit difficult to plug in the phone for charging. This might have only been in our room.

LIEU AU CALME, DERNIERE SOIREE, NUIT ET PETIT DEJEUNER PARFAIT AVANT DE REPRENDRE LE BATEAU POUR LA
Pros:

la chambre était grande avec salle de bain à l'ancienne - grande baignoire - miroir un peu trop ancien...
Le petit déjeuner était très copieux et selon nos gouts et nos envies, un vrai repas.

Komfortabler Kurzaufenthalt
Pros:

Unser Zimmer war sehr gemütlich und komfortabel (leise Klimanlage, freistehende Badewanne, Mini-Kühlschrank und Kaffeemaschine) eingerichtet. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir sind nur eine Nacht geblieben, da wir am anderen Morgen die Fähre aufs Festland gebucht hatten, sowohl Abendessen (kleine Auswahl inklusive vegetarisch und/oder glutenfrei) als auch das Frühstück waren großartig.

Mit der Übernachtung waren wir nicht glücklich, dafür war das Essen sehr lecker.
Cons:

Das Zimmer war extrem eng. Es lag über der Küche, der Ventilator machte laute Geräusche bis spät. Der Preis war überteuert für diese schlechte Unterkunft. Das Hotel hat keine 5 Sterne verdient.
