Toller Stop im Nirgendwo
Pros:

Ein wirklich schönes, modernes Hotel mitten in der Natur. Vom Zimmer aus konnten wir über Schafweiden bis zur Küste schauen. Anstatt Couch gibt es einen Fenstersitz, der dazu einlädt, den Blick schweifen zu lassen. Auf dem Hotelgelände kann man zu einem kleinen Wasserfall laufen. Das Seafood-Risotto im Restaurant war sehr lecker, allerdings auch sehr teuer.

Cons:

Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden

Gutes und sauberes Hotel - aber deutlich zu teuer
Pros:

Schönes Hotel, gute Bar und gutes Restaurant (Küche bis 22:00 Uhr). Zimmer und Bad waren sauber. Das Wifi war schnell.

Cons:

Mittelgrosses Zimmer im Untergeschoss mit Blick auf Grashang und Parkplatz. Zimmerservice ging vergessen (später erfuhren wir, dass man diesen extra hätte anfordern müssen). Beim Frühstück ist die Käse- und Brotauswahl sehr spärlich ausgefallen. Insgesamt ein gutes Hotel mit nur geringfügigen Mängeln - das Vorgenannte ist jedoch mit den sehr hohen Preisen nicht zu vereinbaren.
