Die Unterkunft liegt direkt an einer Straße, wo die Autos im Affentempo vorbei rasen, direkt daneben hinter Gebüsch verlaufen die Bahngleise, die Züge fahren oft, schnell und bis in die Nacht. Es ist extrem laut. Abends draußen sitzen macht daher nicht soviel Spaß. Da es nur ein Fenster/Tür gibt, ist die Wohnung recht dunkel."

"This was a perfect hotel for our stay, Nothing during our stay was to much trouble for the staff with them going the extra mile to accommodate my son's milk allergy for breakfast by arrange for him to have his own freshly baked croissants and chocolate tart. The larger swimming pool at the front of the hotel was lovely and was the perfect blend of there always being sunbeds available no matter what the time of day. If you want to venture away from the hotel the town and local ferry port are only a short 5-10 minute walk away. Anyone thinking of staying at this hotel won't be disappointed."
