Not only a nice room, in addition three very nice persons. The owner, his daughter and a nice woman helping us feeling at home. (Please forgive me: I've just arrived home after six months off the road (Land Rover tdi! ) that's why I can't remember their names -- sorry)

What I do remember is the lettuce soup we were served. Wow! I'm quite good at cooking, but soups are difficult to get as tasty as I like them. Not this soup! Wow!

After a delicious meal the owner and his daughter sat down with us. We had the most marvelous evening -- and before we went to sleep I had to give him half of my Danish rye bread which my girlfriend had brought from Norway the day before.

Happily he was as pleased with the bread as we were with his soup --- actually as pleased as we were with the whole stay in general. highly recommended! More
