Great food and inventive menu with very friendly staff. Lovely, big room, very comfortable bed with a shower and a bath. Near the airport so really convenient for that. 10 mins taxi ride plus a bus that passes to go to airport. A great place to stay in beautiful countryside and much better than staying right at the airport or at one of the nearby chains. Gourmet experience. Recommend it 100%

Hangulatos angol pub
8.0
A szoba kényelmes, nagy, a hátsó kerthelyiségre nézett, külön volt a tusoló és a wc+kád. A pub hangulatos, a reggeli finom volt többféle opcióból lehetett választani.
− Az ablakot kb 3cm-re lehetett kinyitni, a szobába nem volt légkondicionáló csal ventilátor, és pont egy hőhullám alatt tartózkodtunk ott így borzasztó meleg volt a szobába. Az extrém, szokatlan időjárásra való tekintettel a biztonsági zárakat ki engedhették volna, és a szoba éjszaka le tudott volna hűlni így. A másik a takarítás, ami rossz volt, az 5 éjszaka alatt egyszer sem takarították fel a padlót a szobába…

A convenient and comfortable overnight stay.
8.0
Comfortable bed. Good shower and toiletries. Very easy spacious car park.
− The room was very hot and being at the front when the window was opened the early morning traffic noise was disturbing.

Nice inn with lovely staff
7.0
Staff were very pleasant. Room was bright and comfortable. Eggs with hollandaise was very good. Option of smaller portions for some food items was very welcome.
− Some food items could be improved. Afogato would be better with two scoops of ice cream. More yogurt with the granola would make it less dry to eat.
