We stayed overnight but we would love to come back some time and try the trout fishing. The lodge is on the river and as I walked past I could see large trout swimming. The gardens are stunning. Our chalet was very quiet, comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed an excellent dinner and breakfast here. The service was excellent. I would highly recommend staying here.

When we arrived, the room was already warm and cozy. Such a good reapite from the long rainy drive. The reception staff was polite and welcoming. The place is quite old and the curtains remind me of the ones my grandma had in the 80s. However,the cabin is well kept and clean. A good nostalgic experience. Perfect for relaxing and lazing about.

Priorities and guests are not one of them
Restaurant fully booked. Had to drive to get food. Not even take out was possible. The restaurant employees said they needed to focus on the reservations. The issue is not that restaurant was fully booked good for them. But not even take out to eat in the room. That was bad.

Enjoyable short stay in a chalet. Clean and comfortable, quiet surroundings. Handy to town. We were disappointed that the restaurant wasn’t open during our stay. Evening reception would be improved by having the fire crackling on arrival - the reception/bar area seemed very old and tired but that was probably mostly because it was poorly lit and no fire on. Overall very happy with our stay.
