Het is een sfeervol complex met een goed restaurant. In de avond komen de kikker tevoorschijn en kan je ze bewonderen. De kaner was erg ruim en netjes schoon. Er is een zwembad en als het regent loop je overal droog. Het ontbijt is standaard, maar prima.

Restaurant quality is disappointing. Ordered a main dish vegetarian pasta pesto. The portion was very small and the pasta very dry. The view from the restaurant (the frog garden) is nice though. I would not recommend to come here only for the food. We did not stay in the hotel/lodge, so cannot comment on that part of the establishment.

Très très vieillot!
Très très vieillot, cet hôtel aurait besoin d une rénovation complète et de plus d éclairage dans les chambres comme à l extérieur!
Les prises sont toutes branlantes et une sur 2 fonctionnent… bonne idée la machine à café, mais sans dosettes!
Le restaurant n est vraiment pas terrible!
La salle de bain rudimentaire, rue pour poser vos affaires, la seule chose positive c est la pression dans la douche…
J allais oublié devant la terrasse du restaurant, la nuit vous pourrez voir de nombreuses rainettes aux yeux rouges!
Par contre, tout une partie de l hôtel est complètement désaffecté, ça fait peur!
Nous avons testé les massages qui sont très bien, mais ont vous fait descendre dans une pièce qui sent l humidité, c est vraiment dommage!

Zeer fijn huisje met alles er op en er aan. Prachtig uitzicht. Heelijke bedden en fijn balkon Uitermate vriendelijk personeel Ontbijten binnen buiten met zicht op de vogels in de boom. Fijne sfeer. De locatie wordt ook gebruikt voor evenementen en men heeft prachtige kleine ruimtes gecreerd. Zeer Sfeervol Helaas maar 1 nacht gebleven maar langer was zeer gewenst

Beau séjour
Hôtel au milieu de la végétation, très bel endroit avec deux piscines. Très propre. Il manque juste le wifi dans les chambres et une salle de bain un peu plus confortable sinon c'était parfait!
