The staff demonstrated very nice hospitality throughout my stay. the main house was beautiful. Access was unrestricted, allowing exploration at leisure. complimentary bicycles are available and allowed for easy exploration of the lake and surrounding areas.

The hallway leading to my room felt a bit dreary. It was quite a distance, and rolling suitcases over the carpet was challenging.
