Pros:

Прекрасный, дружелюбный персонал.
Чудесный с любовью приготовленный завтрак.
Очень удобное расположение: возле озера, вблизи от основных точек притяжения.

Cons:

Качество постелей могло бы быть лучше.
Мало шампуня в ванной.
Последние два дня пребывания убирали номер не очень качественно и не положили свежие полотенца по количеству проживающих.

Cozy, comfortable stay with sumptuous breakfast
Pros:

Hotel is situated at location well connected to main center. Boat ferry station is few minutes walk. The rooms were simple, basic, clean and spacious. Car park is just outside your room.Breakfast was quite healthy, tasty and served fresh. So hot dishes take quite some time to arrive but wait is worth it. We would love to had dinner here but dinners are not done here. Overall, it is pretty decent and comfy place to stay in. My daughter has left note in room about the place and hotel. Housekeeping staff responded to the note, queries and showed such a lovely gesture. Thanks team !!

Cons:

There was little damp smell in the room when we entered. May be due to weather and closed doors.
We had let it put by opening windows for sometime.
