Een relaxt weekendje weg gehad.
Pros:

Bij aankomst werden wij hartelijk verwelkomd. Tijdens het online inchecken ging er iets niet helemaal goed maar dit werd via de mail van te voren gelijk opgelost en bij aankomst werd dit nog even kort nagevraagd en gecheckt.

Goed restaurant bij het hotel waar je heerlijk kan borrelen en kan eten. Ook het ontbijt was top!

Cons:

Niks op aan te merken. Wij hebben een top verblijf gehad!
