"Historical place"

9.0

Enjoyable stay. It's near the beach and the lake, they have a great garden and even a hot tub to relax in. Second night was less enjoyable as a tour bus pulled off and loud (drunk?) partiers kept shouting until more than 1am in the garden and their rooms. I wish the hotel would keep them un dedicated dorms away from regular guests and instead of the same shared dorms. However the walls are paperthin so it wouldn't probably make a difference.

"Cool old pub with updated accommodations"

8.0

Loved the outdoor area, the room was nice and modern, the old pub (check if it’s open before as it’s not always open) is so cool and has really cool designs.

Unfortunately for a place that wasn’t serving food there wasn’t a kitchen to make any meals only a microwave in the pub as the shared kitchen is currently being renovated.
