This hotel offers a truly unique experience with its beautiful historical charm and delicious dining options. I loved the picturesque setting near the lake, which created a serene atmosphere. However, the distance to our cottage was quite inconvenient, especially in heels, and the service in the restaurant was not up to par. The stay was enjoyable overall, but improvements in certain areas are needed.
