I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which boasts a fantastic location close to Thermen de Zwaluwhoeve. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the grounds and lake. While the staff was friendly, they seemed a bit overwhelmed and the service could be more attentive. Dining was excellent, especially the homemade soup. Overall, it's a great value for money, but improvements in service could elevate the experience.
