This hotel is an absolute gem! With its breathtaking views of the serene lake and enchanting woodland trails, it's a nature lover's paradise. The restaurant offers culinary delights that tantalize the taste buds, and the breakfast spread is simply divine. The rooms are a haven of comfort, with plush beds and modern amenities ensuring a luxurious stay. Having had the pleasure of staying here twice, I can confidently say that nothing in the vicinity compares to the sheer magnificence of this establishment.

Staff are very friendly and speak English which is fab. I am learning danish but not proficient yet. Rooms r clean. The only complaints i have are that the danish pillows r too soft for me and that the rooms aren't sound proof so if your neighbour has their tv on it seems really loud in your room. It was my second stay here, breakfast is excellent, great choice of cereal, breads, scrambled or soft boiled eggs, bacon etc. Coffee is delicious too.

Det ligger virkelig dejligt, men det er et træt sted. Sengetøj og håndklæder rene. Når man kommer sent, står der en kuvert med ens fulde navn og nøgle til værelse. Det bryder jeg mig ikke om. Restaurantionspersonale søde og maden fin. Garniture passede ikke til maden, jeg fik, men var det, der fulgte med dagens ret.

Dejligt ophold, men det første værelse vi fik lugtede af kloak. Vi fik så tilbudt en værelse ved siden af og det lugtede også af kloak. Vi blev på værelset, og sagde det til personalet da vi forlod hotellet. Håber de får det fixet, for det lugtede fælt.
