A wonderfully kept old building with lots of character. It would’ve been great to have stayed in the main building but we were allocated a room in the new annex. Very clean and orderly with the atmosphere of an officers’ mess. It was very quiet except for a small conference group. It is a walk away from the Navy Museum plus others. Pleasant walks are all round the property. While not the usual hotel experience it was novel.

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.

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
