My stay at the hotel was truly magnificent. The rooms were perfect with a separate twin room for the kids, and I loved the special label on the door - 'The English Lady's room'. The historical charm of the rooms, except for the modern bathroom, was enchanting. The sweet touch of roses, leaves, and heart-shaped chocolates made me feel truly pampered.

The hotel offered a romantic room with thoughtful touches like roses, a balcony overlooking the grand garden and the lake, and heart-shaped chocolates for a cozy stay. Unfortunately, the hallway was a bit far from our room. The service was incredibly warm and accommodating, with nice old cars parked by the front and small white aprons for the women, making our tea experience special. The location was lovely, within walking distance of shops along Telemark canal, but the outside area was a bit untidy near the large lake Bandak. The dining experience was simply fantastic with homemade ingredients, though slightly disorganized. The facilities were top-notch, offering high-quality food with local specialties and impressive views. Value for money was fair despite minor inconveniences.
