clean room

spa pool

layout issues

Clean and quiet room with a well-hidden kitchen and balcony overlooking the lake. The in-room spa pool offers a unique experience, especially nicely sheltered for rainy weather.

Room repurposing affects layout, with only one exit and no window ventilation. Issues with some facilities like a cracked sink and mouldy shower detract from an otherwise decent setup.

no complaints

The Premium Suite with Private Hot Tub was amazing! We loved the private hot tub on the balcony and the stunning lake view from our room. Everything was tidy, and the layout was perfect for a cozy getaway. Just wish the bathroom was a bit more updated, but honestly, it didn’t take away from our experience. Totally recommend it!

pokey shower

easy to find and looked clean and tidy from the outside, cute little balcony to chill on, and the bed was super comfy. the staff were really nice and helpful, made check in easy, and the little cafe was great too, food was delicious.

but the bathroom needed some serious cleaning, saw some hairs on the tiles and mouldy silicone around the shower. also, the shower itself was pretty pokey.
