Friendly attentive staff ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Gorgeous room and property, perfect for a midsummer stay. Room had a private patio which was lovely. First stayed here last summer and I think some areas could do with a freshen-up since then. Ate in the restaurant which was quite disappointing; a distinctly average steak and overdone chips. ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lars 28 Aug 2023 Very nice and cosy rooms.
