Pros:

Plašs numurs ar ērtu gultu. Ļoti labas brokastis. Brokastis sākas pavēlu, bet bija iespēja sarunāt nākt ātrāk kamēr viss klāsts vēl nav izlikts. Tā kā bērns ceļas agri, bez agrām brokastīm neiztikt.

Pros:

We had a spacious room on the top floor, near the trees. Very tasty breakfast. Very friendly staff. We took a short walk around the area, the conference house over the water looks very stylish.

Живописное место, куда можно сбежать от городской суеты, насладиться и красотой, и тишиной
Pros:

Великолепное место. Очень живописная лесопарковая зона. На территории несколько красивых домиков. Мы снимали 2 люкса в одном доме. Очень просторные и чистые номера и просторный санузел. На первом этаже есть общая зона с небольшой кухней и обеденным столом. Ресторан с террасой словно парящей над деревьями, и ресепшен, были в соседнем доме. Завтрак очень вкусный и разнообразный. Все понравилось. Вежливый и терпеливый персонал, вкусная еда, чистые и красивые номера. Жалко, что мы были только два дня.

Pros:

Bra service och vänlig personal. Fantastiskt god mat i restaurangen. Tog också lavandelbehandling i spa som var bra och avslappnande. Receptionen hjälpte till med en uppgradering för att lösa problem med internet på rummet.

Cons:

Tyvärr mycket ojämnt i den totala servicen. Första frukosten fantastisk med riktig god cappuccino och stärkta tygservetter. Nästa frukosten är det pappersservetter och en medioker self service kaffemaskin. Frukostrummet överfyllt med folk från något slags kurs som betraktar rummet som en del av kursen med instruktioner och tal.
Andra dagen är restaurangen stängd eftersom dom har något slags evenemang.

Kaunis ja rauhallinen miljöö, hieno ja tilava huone ja erinomainen ravintola.
