We arrived to a lovely warm room (thermally heated) which is good in winter. Well set up, comfortable bed and spa bath.
View over the lake was what I wanted. We'll appointed. Stepped out of the property onto the lakeside walkway.

Def recommended
Very happy with the service and the room, thank you. Very clean, modern decoration with everything you need. Great shower pressure too. Only slight negative was that we ordered a cooked breakfast and it arrived almost cold.
Otherwise loved it thank you!!
