"This is a well restored old building with a nice large traditionally furnished room. There is no on site reception and there was only a link to an unhelpful answering service via the provided link.

"Wir waren mit allem sehr zufrieden. Das Zimmer war gemütlich und sauber, mit TV und kostenlosem WLAN. Das Bad war ein wenig eng, aber ebenfalls sauber. Das angebotene Frühstück war nett hergerichtet und mehr als ausreichend. Es gab ein hervorragendes Abendessen (ebenfalls große Portionen) zu einem guten Preis. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, denen das Wohl der Gäste am Herzen liegt. Von unserer Seite gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. Wir würden jederzeit wieder buchen. "
