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
