Schönes Hotel direkt am Waldrand
Pros:

Schönes Hotel mit gemütlich eingerichteten Zimmern.
Wir hatten das Familienzimmer, welches aus 2 Zimmern besteht. Beide mit einem fantastischen Ausblick in die Natur.
Die Zimmer sind modern eingerichtet und sehr groß. Man hat viel Platz.
Alles war sehr sauber.

Es gibt zudem einen kleinen Pool und einen kleinen Saunabereich.

Das Personal war sehr freundlich!

Cons:

Einziger Kritikpunkt meinerseits, sind die sehr harten Betten. Man müsste lediglich einen Topper auf die Matratzen machen, dann wäre auch der Schlaf gut, was ja zu einer gemütlichen Auszeit einfach dazu gehört.
Bis auf die Nächte war der Aufenthalt sehr schön.

Direct aan mooie wandelroutes, eten laat wel lang op zich wachten
Pros:

Direct aan het bos, heerlijk ontbijt

Cons:

We moesten erg lang wachten op het diner. Te weinig personeel, nadat we 20 minuten hadden gewacht voordat iemand kwam vragen wat we wilden drinken. Daarna nog eens 15 minuten wachten op onze drankjes. Het eten zelf was lekker.

schlechtes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis
Pros:

Zimmer renovierungsbedürftig, Lage extrem gut. Frühstück für jeden etwas dabei.
Abendessen ausbaufähig. Kalbsschnitzel fritiert und extrem trocken, dafür viel zu teuer, Pasta aus dem Parmesanlaib geschmacklich eher wie aus der Tüte.

Cons:

s.o.
