i enjoyed the food and drinks. staff were friendly. i found the accommodation comfortable. the location is in a very pretty little village.
The room clearly hadn't been cleaned prior to our stay. I found a stain on the bedding. i also noticed nail clippings on the floor and a half-empty glass of water left in the room.

broken toiletchilly bathroom
The bathroom heater didn't seem to work properly, leaving the space quite chilly. also, flushing the toilet was a real struggle. I think the mechanism was broken, because it took several tries. i mentioned it when i checked out, but it was still a bit annoying . i wish they had fixed it before my arrival, or at least warned me about it (i hate unpleasant surprises).
