We have nothing to pass here. We stayed here after partying late into the night as guests of a wedding at the adjacent restaurant. The furnishings are not modern, but functional and okay. The bathroom was clean. Very friendly welcome! The entrance door is locked relatively early and can only be opened with the room key, which I think is a good thing. The location is quite remote, but very nice.

Really large room for this price range. Small private terrace. The room is really clean and feels like it has been recently renovated.Slightly isolated location, but therefore very quiet.Smiling welcome in impeccable English. Very good breakfast.

You sit on the edge of the field, which is very pleasant at this time of year, the staff is very friendly, the menu is manageable, the food is very good and tasty, the drinks are well chilled and, as a bonus, a great sunset.
