+ This charming hotel is nestled in the heart of the forest, offering a serene and scenic escape while still being easily accessible from the nearby town. The spacious open field is perfect for children and dogs to run around freely, making it an ideal spot for families and pet owners. Rooms are equipped with heaters, ensuring a cozy stay even during chilly early mornings or late evenings.
− One minor drawback is the limited number of bathrooms, which may not be sufficient given the overall guest capacity.
