Poor experience
We had arrived by bike after a 70 km ride and we found the gate closed.
The time was 4pm, as indicated on the booking for check-in, but the owner told us to come one hour late because he was not home.
The room was dirty, and the fourth bed fell apart in the middle of the night and was not suitable for an adult person.
Breakfast had counted items and at the request to have one extra croissant the answer was "no".
The place does not offer any beverages for purchase. You have to drink tap water or go to a restaurant which is 10 km away.
The swimming pool area and patio are partially under construction, they can be used but cables stick out in several places.
