Super freundliches Personal. Top Hotel.
Pros:

Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind Top ausgestattet. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Der Lounge Bereich lädt nach einem langen Tag zum Entspannen ein. Ich kann nur empfehlen dort einen Whisky oder auch 2 zu trinken. Die Auswahl ist riesig und die Barkeeperin hat mich sehr gut beraten. Wir waren run um zufrieden.

Only stay if you can get a top floor room
Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

Noisy room. We were woken at 6.30 am and the floor above echoed every footstep. Then at 7.30 a coach parked right outside our room blocking the view and left the engine running

Peacefull retreat
Pros:

Location was great and the ground were beautiful. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was superb. The staff were very professional, friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The lake is not a part of the property therefore can’t use it. Would have been nice to fish there. Besides the hike in the back of the property (which was lovely) not much to do for younger crowd.
