Won't hurry back

Very underwhelming considering what we paid. Issues with heating when arrived, were resolved within an hour. Initial booking was showing as single occupier, had phoned / emailed with an update to make it 2 people but had not been picked up. Breakfast selection was very limited, table half empty, initially no pastries, Juices etc and had to wait 45 minutes for a cooked breakfast.

Very nice place great location. Staff very attentive and friendly. Food was excellent lots of choice including breakfast options. Room was spacious but think it maybe a little warm in summer months as no air conditioning. Overall stay excellent will definitely return and recommend to friends

We arrived at the hotel in the middle of storm Henk which was quite stressful but the staff were very welcoming. 15 mins later the whole village lost power. Although we weren’t able to get a cooked meal they produced a delicious charcuterie board by candlelight. The staff were upbeat despite the situation. The room was very comfortable and we would definitely stay again.
