Why people love it
- Water sports. Guests say it is a strong base for windsurfing, foiling, kitesurfing, stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing.
- Location. A private jetty and direct lake access are mentioned repeatedly. September 2026 guests call it quiet, away from the main road, and right on the lake.
- Staff. Many 2026 guests describe warm, family-like service.
- Pool and grounds. Guests praise the pool, the well-kept garden and small cottages with four rooms each in the garden.
Why they come back
"I've been coming here with my parents for many years. Every year we're absolutely thrilled."
The worst thing guests say
In August 2025 a stayer called the management choleric and rude, and said the rooms were dated. Older complaints include a dated, small standard room (2021), poor service and a bad bed (2023), a dog turned away at the restaurant (2022), and non-guest restaurant customers being treated badly (2018). Recent 2026 reviews are 4 or 5 stars.
Insider tips
- Dogs were turned away at the restaurant in 2022. Check the policy.
- Standard rooms were described as dated and small, so ask about room types.
- Good for water sports families: a June 2026 guest with four stays recommends it for that.
Who it's for: families and water sports fans who want a lakefront base with a pool.
Skip it if you want dogs at the restaurant or modern standard rooms.
