Beautiful and peaceful location by the lake
Pros:

The property is beautifully located right by the lake, with a lovely garden and a nice, clean pool. During our stay, we were the only guests, which made the experience feel very special and peaceful.

The room was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. The staff was extremely polite and welcoming, making us feel well taken care of.

A great place to relax and enjoy nature in a quiet setting – highly recommended overall!

Cons:

The only thing we didn’t enjoy as much was the breakfast – it was very basic. Also, we were charged extra for tea and didn’t receive any other drink as part of the meal, which was disappointing.

Good location bad service
Pros:

The location is good. It is right next to the lake.

Cons:

Food was very average.
They don't accept credit cards.. but in all fairness it was mentioned while booking.
The beds weren't very comfortable and the rooms weren't clean when we checked in. There were cobwebs
