    We felt well taken care of. The athmosphere Was comely and we felt welcome. My wife and I were completly satisfied. The quiet surroundings, the beautiful garden, inviting to take a morning stroll and a good breakfast. The tip, which restaurant to go to, proved to be exzellent.

    Very good overall. Dave is very friendly and helpful!
    Breakfast was really good even for my wife that doesn't eat any pork or red meat.
    If I had to mention a small issue it would be that the curtains and blinds are too light and allows quite a bit of light through. We are used to 100% blockoput at home but really cannot expect it everywhere we go.

    Otherwise, I will definitely visit again.

    Thanks Johan, glad you enjoyed your stay.
    I will check the curtains out in the room you stayed in as they should be good enough to keep out the light, but as you say its one of those things and people do have very different preferences with regards to the amount of light/darkness they prefer.
    All the best and we look forward to seeing you both again.
