Pros:

Super friendly hotel offering excellent value. Dinner was very enjoyable (set menu included wine). Breakfast was more than adequate. The staff really make this place, but the rooms are spacious and there are fine views. Plenty of parking.

Cons:

The mattress was on its last legs, hence 9/10.

Tadelloses Hotel das alleine auf einem Hügel steht, Essen recht günstig aber kein Highlight
Pros:

Etwas älteres Hotel aber tadellos in Schuss, mein Zimmer hatte mindestens 50m2 (!)
Ausreichend Parkplätze direkt vorm Hotel

Cons:

Das Abendessen war Buffet, war aber im Endeffekt nur Durchschnitt, dafür recht preisgünstig,
Sehr gute Weine zu sehr günstigen Preisen.
