This is a truly wonderful place. Been there with a small group end of August, with a few tents. The nature and landscape are stunning, the place is incredibly welcoming, the small lake is so nice and relaxing. We are architects / architecture students: the main building is in itself a lesson in architecture. The staff is very attentive and nice.

We are from Romania, we felt absolutely welcome :-) If you are lucky to be there in good weather, you will see the most incredible night sky...

There is a lovely restaurant right next to the lake. Changing rooms and toilets are provided.
Quite a few tables are in the shade and if they are full, then ask for a sun umbrellar and sit on the lawn.
There is free parking. It can get full on mid summer weekends. They tolerate parking the car also on the side of the road on the grass.
A big pro for some of us: you can officially bring a dog. They are not allowed to swim in the lake, but can wade in a small dog...
