Wat een bijzondere plek
Pros:

Ligt op een bijzondere locatie - op het dorpsplein. Super vriendelijke ontvangst. Wij arriveerden wat later dan gepland, maar dat was geen probleem - er was zelfs nog de mogelijkheid om in de pub te eten 's avonds. Het ontbijt was super verzorgd en heel uitgebreid - perfect.

Cons:

De wifi in de kamer is wat onstabiel, maar wel toegankelijker als je beneden in de pub gaat aanloggen (dus dat is een prima oplossing).
