A bit quiet and out of the way, but that doesn't make it any worse. Lots of attention to detail. Warm welcome and delicious breakfast.We only ate, so I can't rate a room.

Service and friendliness absolutely TOP. The house is clean and well maintained, but the renovation backlog is already clearly visible. But maintaining and modernizing such a large house in current times and geographical location is certainly not easy. Very moderate prices. If you don't expect everything to be new, then it's definitely a good recommendation.
