Je reviendrai volontiers
Pros:

super choix de produits de proximité et home made. Personnel serviable et attentionné.

Cons:

Une possibilité de se faire un thé dans les chambres serait appréciée bien que le personnel nous fournisse en thermos à la demande.Les chambres historiques sont peut-être un peu chère comparée aux chambres standard qui sont attractives , ma foi.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen, war entspannt.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut, leider war das Rührei fast kalt,
der Rest war Perfekt.

Cons:

Beim Abendessen war das Essen eher kalt, die Teller zu wenig warm.
Schade, das Essen war so schnell fast kalt.

Wonderful, peaceful spot! It's everything it says it is!
Pros:

The room was well appointed with cozy linens and a comfortable bed and pillows. The breakfast buffet and staff were wonderful. The location is very peaceful and beautiful and was a delight to explore.

Cons:

The only downside was disappointment with one of the evening meals. I expected far better for the price paid. I ordered off the menu the next evening and enjoyed it more and it cost less.

Pros:

Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Lokaler Käse wurde angeboten. Spiegel- und Rühreier gab's auf Bestellung. Der Ausblick auf den Sarnersee und Pilatus war hervorragend.

Comfortabel adres, overprijsd en personeel (receptie en bediening bar en ontbijt) niet attent.
Cons:

Ontbijt was veel niet veel keus, of van tegenvallende kwaliteit. Personeel niet erg vriendelijk. Basisvoorzieningen zoals zout en peper niet voorhanden. Alleen margarine geen echte boter, koffie matig. Op het terras werd ik door de bediening niet opgemerkt en nadat ik mij binnen had gemeld om iets te bestellen, daarna verder niets besteld omdat er niet werd bediend (niet actief).
