Wouldn't hesitate to book again, we would make sure we were on a ground floor next time.
Pros:

A good choice of continental breakfasts, plus a menu of cooked food, most choices seemed to be egg related. No toast was offered, I think you had to ask. Overall everything was of good quality and cooked well.

Cons:

Our room was very clean and well presented everyday. Our only gripe was that we were in a roof space room in a thatched building and it got quite humid and stuffy in the evenings with only one small window to open. There were air vents in the ceiling and a complicated digital display on the wall, but we couldn't get it to do anything. The shower for us was out of this world, we wanted to take it home.

Pros:

heel weing, er was geadverteerd dat er AC was en wifi .
Niewt waar
Op het aanbot van een aanbieding van een speciaal menu voor 2 of 3 gangen was van de voorgerechten uit 6 keuzes slechts 1 voor handen en voor de main menu slechts 2.
Iedere keer de goedkope opties
