Pros:

Das Frühstück und die fröhliche Bedienung waren hervorragend. Das Dorf gefällt uns am besten am Abend, wenn fast alle Besucher weg sind und wir es geniessen können. Landschaft, Natur, Vögel, Abendstimmung.

Cons:

Es hatte leider sehr viele Wespen. Und sehr freche Wespen, die bissen....

Pros:

De locatie is echt een aanrader. Je kunt een mooie wandeling maken helemaal om de vesting heen. Ook de musea zijn interessant en heel leuk ingericht. Het personeel is echt behulpzaam en vriendelijk.

Cons:

Op de kamer ligt een kleed waar ik niet tegen kan. Deze had ik in de hal voor de kamer gelegd en dat was verder geen probleem. De horeca in de vesting sluit best op tijd. Het onrbijt is goed maar houdt niet over.

Pros:

Personeel en locatie. Geweldig, het was net in een sprookje.

Cons:

Gehorig, mensen sloegen met hun deuren (of was het zo'n deurdranger?) en het was heel hoorbaar.
