How it works

A menu to choose from, every day

We don't have a fixed menu. The day before, we send guests who are staying, or about to arrive, the next day's lunch and dinner options, and the time to choose by.

You know exactly what you'll be eating, with no surprises. And it keeps food waste to a minimum: instead of a buffet, each dish is cooked for the person who ordered it, with ingredients bought fresh every day, in the right amounts.

You can stay on full board, half board or bed and breakfast. If you are coming to enjoy the lodge, we recommend full board: breakfast, lunch and dinner, with no need to go out for meals. Meals are served at set times:

Breakfast
7–9 am
Lunch
12 pm
Dinner
7 pm

🔔 No need to watch the clock: when the food is ready, the bell rings.
