Hotel review

Full marks for the pretty waterfront location, the fabulous food in Jean Sulpice's gourmet restaurant and the excellent service. The Inn has a long tradition of fine food and many rich and famous people have stayed here in the past. You can chill by the lake or take part in a whole range of exciting activities offsite - from walking to rafting and from caving to paragliding. There's a nature reserve close by and bikes can be borrowed from the hotel.
