Fantastisk sjarmerende hotell
Pros:

Et utrolig sjarmerende hotell med flott beliggenhet.
«Rommet» er en liten leilighet med eget soverom.
Stuen har en liten kjøkkenkrok, riktignok uten redskaper, men kjøleskap, micro og vask.
Den er også fint innredet med sofa, 2 stoler og bord (og peis når man måtte trenge det)
Dette er uten tvil det mest sjarmerende hotellet jeg har bodd på. Byen er også trivelig i litt «Hans og Grete» stil.
Glemte nesten å nevne all den nydelige beplantningen over hele stedet.

Cons:

Absolutt ingenting.
