Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und die Nacht sehr ruhig. Das Nachtessen war sehr fein. Alles sehr sauber.

Cons:

Ineinem unserer Zimmer hatte es Steinboden und die Deckebeleuchtung war sehr kalt. Dies machte die Atmosphäre ewas ungemütlich.

Kann man mal machen, für eine Nacht mangels Alternativen.
Pros:

Die Lage war gut; es gab aber auch keine Alternativen...

Cons:

Das Frühstück war nicht so toll und das Zimmer ziemlich klein. Das Bett reichte gerade so für 2 Personen. Auch hier gab es nur eine "große" Decke und keine getrennten Decken.

Delightful little Inn
Pros:

Quaint and full of hundreds of years of character. Little stairs to our wee room with comfy bed and walk in shower. Dinner was yummy, venison lasagne and venison meatballs followed by cheese board.
Breakfast buffet even had kiwi fruit!

Cons:

Our bedroom was very hot and the black out curtains prevented air flowing into the room.
