Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't get enough of the Eggs Royale made with quality produce by someone who knows how to cook them; to die for! The rooms were stunning and exceptionally clean, although a little on the smaller side. The service was above-and-beyond with friendly, efficient staff who made everything feel effortless. The hotel's location right in the village, a short walk from the lake, made up for any possible shortcomings. The dining experience was super tasty, although a bit on the pricey side. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel has a central location in the village that is absolutely perfect, offering outstanding views with beautiful gardens and plentiful seating areas. The rooms, despite needing some maintenance, were large and very comfortable, making up for the lack of a view. The service was mixed, with some issues in getting food orders right but with very professional and efficient staff. The dining experience lived up to expectations, although there were minor issues with the food quality. Overall, it was a great stay with a few minor inconveniences.
