lovely stay!

board gameseasy check-inclean hotelwelcome basket
The hotel had board games. check-in and check-out were easy. I liked this a lot. the hotel was clean with provided toiletries. the hosts welcomed us with a tea and bread basket, which i thought was a lovely touch.
the location was good, a wooded site in a quiet spot. i had some trouble with the breakfast though. it was delicious with poached eggs, toast, cereals, yogurt, and fruit. but i found the suggestion for an evening meal wasn't that helpful to me.
