Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and had a fireplace, and the service was top-notch. However, the location was a bit secluded, and the dining options were limited. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and had a fireplace which added to the ambiance, but the hot tub in the bathroom was a real treat. The service was top-notch with a nice touch of a welcome drink. The location was serene, nestled right next to the forest, providing a peaceful getaway. The dining offered included tasty vegetarian and vegan dishes, a pleasant surprise. A great value for the money overall.
The hotel is nestled in nature near the forest and right by the river, offering a tranquil setting. The rooms feature cozy fireplaces, and the service includes a warm welcome drink. However, the dining experience lacked variety and the thin crispy fries were underwhelming. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay at a reasonable price.
