The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit. Natural yoghurt was also available (i love yoghurts!). Smoked salmon and poached eggs were offered. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The room was small. The village had just one grocery store. I had difficulty finding the accommodation when i arrived in the dark.

breakfast was fantastic, fresh fruit was available. natural yoghurt was also a highlight, it was so fresh. the poached eggs were the best i've ever had.
i was not informed the restaurant had closed. this happened until the day of my arrival. this is a country location, so other restaurants were unavailable.
