This hotel is an absolute gem! With its breathtaking views of the serene lake and enchanting woodland trails, it's a nature lover's paradise. The restaurant offers culinary delights that tantalize the taste buds, and the breakfast spread is simply divine. The rooms are a haven of comfort, with plush beds and modern amenities ensuring a luxurious stay. Having had the pleasure of staying here twice, I can confidently say that nothing in the vicinity compares to the sheer magnificence of this establishment.

Dejligt sted

Super superior værelse, flot indrettet stort rum med sofa og balkon med direkte udsigt til søen. Lidt lydhørt ind imellem. Men ellers stille. Rigtig fin service, dejligt venligt personale. Der er hvad eer skal være til morgenmad, også morgenbitter. Fik lille pose med æble og vand ved afgang. Ingen smålighed nogen steder. Været der et par gange og god oplevelse hver gang

Pleasant stay

We enjoyed our stay and the room was pleasant enough though the hotel is rather dated (not necessarily a problem) but also a little tired.

Very basic

Somewhat worn down facilities - very basic - not even a pen or hairdryer in the room - no toiletries - but they did provide for free upon request. Breakfast - decent - but the scrambled eggs serves On that day - was either from a can - or the chef forgot to add salt …. Ordered a double bed- which was two single beds put together 🙈.

Very reasonable and perfectly fine for us!

This was absolutely fine - though if you want a 'special, luxury' experience maybe this is not the hotel for you. For myself and my husband (visiting family) it was perfectly good - and very reasonable! The breakfast was great - lovely eggs, bread, fruit, cheese etc...... I can't comment on the cold meats, or hot bacon and frankfurters, as I did not partake! The beds were extremely comfortable - and the view from the window was beautiful - over the lake. The bathroom was functional - fine for us - but as I say, if you are looking for a bit of luxury, maybe this is not the hotel for you. As for us - we'll be back in a few months!

One of the best we've found

Excellent place; quiet location, beautiful landscaped grounds, friendly and helpful staff, good food & drink available. And they accommodated us for early check-in, a real plus for those traveling by bicycle. Out of the bustle of City Center, but very close to everything.

Basic

One night stay on business, passing through. This is basic hotel. accom clean and tidy but needs a bit of refurb IMHO. Staff really nice. Located on outskirts of town. nice lakeside setting with easy access to walks etc. Pricey for what it was and for length of stay so will prob search somewhere else next time nearby.

Beautiful setting but needs decorating!

A wonderful setting with beautiful views. Their is nothing wrong with the service, comfort or the (excellent) breakfast. However the hotel does need the proverbial 'lick of paint' and it is in desperate need of modernisation.

Nice hotel with great views. However, there was no kettle in the room, and the complementary tea and coffee in the lobby was unavailable because the machine had broken down. The restaurant was very nice, but compared to other patrons, our meal was massively oversized.
