Excellent.
Pros:

Not sure if all rooms are the same, ours was fairly small and given we came on a motor bike had to jugle where we put things. Though, bathroom was surperb. The resturant dinner meal was exceptional along with the service.

Cons:

Size of room, though will not stop us from staying there again.

Goed
Pros:

De ligging ten opzicht van de stad was goed. Er is geen ontbijt buffet. Je kunt een keuze maken vanuit de kaart wat je wil en dat was allemaal zeer smaakvol. Ruime badkamer met prima douche. Redelijk goed bed
.

Cons:

De kamer had iets ruimer gemogen
