"Rigtig godt udgangspunkt "

8.0

Deres måde med at man skulle bestille morgenmad og aftensmad til bestemt tidspunkt og uden at vide hvad det bestod af var ikke ok. Aftensmad og deres drikkevarer+ div var alt for høj i forhold til kvalitet og andre steder. Ellers er skønt sted

"Peaceful, warm, welcoming and very comfortable."

8.0

The staff were amazing; warm, friendly, helpful and flexible. The only reaosn I don't want to mention names, is that I am sure I would have had the same level and quality of service from all those I met. I loved the exceedingly peaceful location with space between sets of rooms, the immediate view of the river of my room (6) which I think most have. The bed was deliciouly comfortable, and I appreciated the mesh in the windows. The aircon was quiet. The outside dinning area I found enchanting, close to the river with abundant foligae all around. Both inside and outside dinning areas were set up very artistically and attractively. The home baked bread and scones (?) were outstanding.

With the priviso that the staff were flexible and creative with my dietry needs, and were kind enough to make sure I had eg. unsweetened almond milk, and olive oil instead of butter, It would be fabulous if the lodge could develop some great catering for vegetarians. I also have high cholesterol which I manage through diet..not an unusual condition... so chhese is not an option for me. My error for not suggesting things before I arrived, nevertheless, I think my suggestion would be helpful and welcome to an increasing number of visitors.

"A beautiful place with good food, but dirty swimming pools, overall a bit disappointing."

6.0

The location is great, furniture and decoration beautiful, the garden is gorgeous. Food was very good, craftbeer excellent.

Swiming pool next to the bungalow was looking unfiltered und dirty, the one next to the main building looked the same, and with no light, no bar next to pools for drinks.
