Quirky, quiet place to sleep and get a bite to eat.
Pros:

A quirky property in the middle of nowhere, thankfully with a restaurant on the premises. If you want quiet you’re in the right place! Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The bathroom was camping-style, tiny and cramped. I found the artwork on the wall of my room - and in the restaurant for that matter - a bit creepy.

Buona posizione
Pros:

La posizione è buona!

Cons:

Quando si fa la doccia si bagna tutto il bagno, inoltre il ristornate era poco pulito.

Bel établissement
Pros:

Établissement charmant situé dans un beau lieu historique. Personnel très sympathique. Dîner excellent !

Cons:

La chambre avait beaucoup de fenêtres ; c'est sûrement bien en hiver quand le soleil manque, mais impossible de dormir dans une véritable obscurité au petit matin au printemps/été. Dommage.
Petit déjeuner beaucoup trop cher pour ce qui est proposé.

Lugar relajante y agradable
Pros:

La habitación era estupenda con vistas a la iglesia, un lugar perfecto para hacer el círculo dorado, pasamos dos noches. La chica de la recepción era encantadora, hablaba un poco de español y su compañero de la cocina también, ambos muy serviciales y siempre sonriendo . Las bañeras de fuera un placer después de un día largo

Varmt och hemtrevligt.
Pros:

Bra läge för vår planerade körrutt. Trivsamma utrymmen. Varmt rum trots att det var kallt ute. Rent.

Cons:

Vissa delar av hotellet, som heltäckningsmattan i trappor och korridorer, är lite slitna.
