    We had dinner in the Orangery which exceeded our expectations. The breakfast was also very good. I particularly liked the selection of fruits

Coming March 2023: Our brand new terrace From January 4th to March 2023 we are redeveloping our outside terrace at the front of the hotel into a beautiful new drinking and dining area. Please note, during this period there will be extensive works going on with heavy machinery and the terrace will not be accessible. Part of the garden and lakeshore will still be open for our guests to enjoy.
