8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (1009)
"It’s a quirky hotel. You love it or you don’t. We happened to love it. It’s need some updating, but without loosing any of its character. Excellent location. Dogs allowed. Good traditional breakfast, nothing fancy, but enough. Dinner options more sophisticated. Game room, cinema room, bar, outstanding views… Great stay for anytime of the year. Lots of regular customers. I give one star less because of some musty smell of the room and not fully functional bathroom sink. However this wouldn’t stop...
