Fairfax Vacations from ￥268,785

The staff at the desk were excellent, the room seemed clean. That’s where the good news ends. The thermostat did not work it became unbearably hot despite adjusting the temperature. And the hot water took almost 30 min of running the water to actually be a temperature warm enough to get in the shower.

Everything about the Swanendele Inn was exceptional: the location, the accommodations, the facilities, the decor, the hosts, and, not least, the breakfast. In fact, you could spend several days just exploring the remarkable antiques and artifacts around the place. However, what made the strongest impression was the fiery glow of dawn though the pine trees outside our balcony every morning in the Margeret Brent suite. Rhododaktylos, "The rosy-fingered dawn": I never understood the true meaning of that phrase until I saw that.

Smooth check in, courteous staff, clean and comfortable room.
