Opt for a Cottage Away from the Main Reception

Some guests found the cottages close to the reception noisy and lacking proper windows, so consider requesting a cottage further away for a quieter experience.

Check the Kitchen Facilities

If you plan to use the kitchen in your cottage, ensure that all necessary utensils and cooking equipment are provided and in good condition, as some guests reported incomplete or dirty sets and non-functional elements.

Be Mindful of Check-in and Check-out Times

Note that the hotel's check-in and check-out times are strict, with additional charges for early check-in. Plan your arrival and departure times accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.

Consider Room Selection for Views

Guests recommended selecting rooms with views of the forest or garden to enhance the experience, as some rooms may have limited or obstructed views.

Be Aware of Noise Levels

The hotel occasionally hosts events such as weddings, which can lead to loud music. If you prefer a quieter environment, it may be helpful to inquire about potential events during your stay.

Verify the Condition of Room Amenities

Some guests reported maintenance issues such as non-functional safes, broken bedside lamps, and outdated bathroom facilities. It may be beneficial to check the functionality of amenities upon arrival.

Request Renovated Cottages

While the cottages offer a rustic charm, some guests noted that certain aspects, such as the lighting and basic maintenance, could benefit from renovation. Inquire about the availability of updated cottages for a more modern experience.
