Pros:

Super aardig personeel. Rustige omgeving verder. Prima uitvalsbasis vanwaar je lopend makkelijk naar de bezienswaardigheden kan geraken.

Cons:

We hadden er rekening mee gehouden na lezen van reviews en inderdaad er was de zaterdagavond geluid van muziek/uitgaan. Meegebrachte oordoppen boden soelaas.

Pros:

Anna was so kind and helpful. We were able to check in early and leave our bags on our check out day. This was a real bonus.

Cons:

We booked 4 rooms and were generally very happy with all of them 😊. We would have " normal" teabags( not herbal).
