Sehr nettes Personal, Essen war gut. Zimmer ok.

Direkt an der Haupt- und damit Durchgangsstraße. Es war entsprechend laut.

Comfortable and excellent service

We arrived late having had trouble with a rental car and needed to take a break as we were so tired. Excellent front desk service, the room was welcome and enjoyed the breakfast. Just wish we could have arrived earlier.

Ideal location, decorated beautifully in Scottish tarten decor. Staff and food was lovely.

Duvets were very heavy and hot for summer. Shower didn’t work well.
