Ruhig gelegen, wir waren auf der Durchreise eine Nacht da. Sehr Hundefreundlich, konnten ihn sogar mitnehmen zum Frühstück. Auf Wunsch wurde uns sogar das Abendessen vom Pub bis zum Zimmer gebracht :) Kostenloser grosser Parkplatz.

Eine Klimaanlage im Zimmer wäre super gewesen :)

Prachtige sfeervolle oude Inn, erg mooie locatie, heel vriendelijk personeel en heerlijk eten! Fijne en mooie hotelkamer.

Kleine tip: twee stoelen (ipv één) op de kamer zou fijn zijn!

Beautiful old pub with good accommodation facilities. Evening meal and breakfast was very good. The staff were very friendly and efficient.

Confusing signs in the bedroom asking to turn on the fan over the bathroom door but there was no switch

Useful location for stopping off for a ferry - once we had found it! Outside room was decent size. Great outdoor dining/ drinking area at pub.

Some inconsiderate neighbours kept us awake late, but that’s not hotel’s fault. Very narrow approach road and we kept meeting oncoming traffic!

"Peaceful and comofortable, but choose the more modern rooms"

Very Good

7.0

Lovely peaceful location. Comfortable beds.

Our first stay was in Block 5, which we now realise must be the newest. Lovely modern rooms and walk in showers. Our second stay was in block 4. Rooms are more tired. Very old tv. Apps on it didn’t work. Shower over the bath not ideal.
