the swimming pool was nice and warm.
I think i got one of the less desirable rooms. it was small and felt a little dark, overlooking the car park. the bathroom felt quite outdated. The shower wasn't great and the toilet needed multiple flushes to work..

Enchanting Escape, A Romantic Interlude

warm staffforest walksair conditioning
The staff greeted us with warmth. The location allowed for immediate access to amazing forest walks, offering a immersive experience. The swimming pool was warm. The cozy lounge became our favored evening retreat.
The room lacked air conditioning, and this made it slightly uncomfortable during warmer parts of the day. It needs to be fixed soon.

Our room featured a comfortable king-size bed with soft linens, and two plush armchairs set by a window. The bathroom included complimentary toiletries and fluffy towels. A modern television was equipped with various channels.

Good Getaway

inviting waterwarm staffpet friendly traveldelicious sausages
The swimming pool was a highlight for me, and the opening hours of 7 AM to 10 PM accommodated our schedule well. I found the water temperature warm and inviting. The staff greeted our dog warmly, lovely for our pet-friendly travel (our furry friend felt pampered indeed!). Breakfast had delicious sausages that I enjoyed.
The room decor seemed a little tired.
