In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book

  • Outstanding facilities — With a facilities score of 9.5, the property offers amenities like a guest lounge, garden, sun terrace, and a children's play area, along with practical extras like laundry and ski storage.
  • Excellent rooms and comfort — Rooms score 9.3, and guests note modern decor, heating, soundproofing, and lake views. Some rooms include a bathtub, and the beds are described as comfortable.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort score is low — Comfort scores just 7.5, which is the weakest category. While rooms are praised for heating and beds, this suggests some guests find the overall comfort level below expectations for the price.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place. The policy is strict no pets, so plan for alternative accommodation for your furry friend.
  • Small property, limited capacity — As a B&B with around 14 guests, the experience is intimate, but that means fewer on-site facilities like a restaurant or spa. What you get is a cosy, personal stay rather than a big hotel.
  • Breakfast not included in all rates — While many guests praise the breakfast, it's not mentioned as complimentary in the base rate. This could add to the cost, so check your booking details.
