Koselig hotell med god mat, hyggelig vertskap, flott utsikt og deilig uteplass!
Pros:

Gammelt, velholdt hotell med en lun og koselig atmosfære. Bar med klassisk engelsk preg. Salong med gode, komfortable møbler, peis og bøker til utlån. Stor, vestvendt terrasse på flere plan med praktfull utsikt mot elva. Deilig frokostbuffet. Utsøkt middag!
Gratis parkering

Cons:

Vi ønsket oss knagger til å henge opp store klesplagg, f.eks bunad eller kåper/frakk

Pros:

Ein schönes gepflegtes Hotel mit sehr nettem Personal. Die Zimmer sind sauber und komfortabel ausgestattet. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön direkt an einem Fluss. Das Essen ist super und reichhaltig, obwohl wir alleine im Hotel waren. Es wurde extra für uns ein Frühstück her gezaubert, was nur vom feinsten war.
Ein ganz ganz dickes Lob an das Hotel und ihrem Personal.

Cons:

Abzulut nix

Ikke helt det jeg hadde regnet med
Pros:

Beliggenheten er flott og første etasje er koselig

Cons:

Rommet luktet ekkelt, så jeg måtte lufte det ut hver gang jeg gikk inn dit. Luktet som enten gamle sluk eller fuktskade.

Frokosten var stusselig, lite utvalg av ferskvarer. Mest posjonsbokser og standard produkter. Mulig den er bedre i høysesongen .
