    The setting is wonderful, directly on the lake. The cabins are comfortable, cosy and had everything we need. The staff were lovely. This was a perfect stay after the more hectic pace of Copenhagen.

    We didn’t try the breakfast, as we were in a self-catering cabin. The location is fantastic! It is off the beaten track, right on the lake, surrounded by hiking trails, peaceful and geared for an active vacation. The staff is very accommodating....
