The staff were very helpful and friendly. The grounds were experiencing the change of seasons so likely less stunning than what summer and wjnter wpuld offer, alas still fresh and inviting. Meal choices were savoury anx seemed to be appealing to those around me. For me with Crohns, a little restrictive. I imagine in season would be broader selection, so understandable.

Rene og innbydende rom. Veldig gode senger! Synes prisen var for høy, over 3k for én natt. Det var det ikke verdt. Frokosten helt ok, enkel og grei.

Flott maritimt atmosfære i landlige omgivelser. God frukost, lokatl brygget øl. Lader for El-bil, men uten kabler. Så ubrukbart for «feriebilen», så vi måtte kjøre til sentrum å lade. Restaurant stengte tidlig- kl.19:30
