WiFi is a disaster, works - doesn't work. Other guests also felt this way...can be improved. Planning the next day in the indoor pool via the Internet is not possible. Neither WiFi nor normal cell phone reception. Breakfast ok, nothing special. Dinner was delicious both days. Great quiet location. Nice staff. Free parking directly in front of the hotel. A fan for a room under the attic would be useful.

The staff, rooms, food and leisure activities were all top notch. We had a family reunion there and we all felt very comfortable. I can only recommend the accommodation, even if it is a bit out of the way. I can only express my highest praise to the entire staff.
