Along Route 5 and just 800 meters from the M5, a hotel tucked away from city noise offers restful stays with a generous buffet breakfast, plus lunch and dinner in a private dining room. An elegant, flexible conference hall serves business needs, while a range of wellness services helps guests reset.
Mizsei Lovastanya: Unplugged, With Horses
Out on the outskirts, Mizsei Lovastanya offers a family-run riding farm across nearly 124 acres. Horses, dogs, cats, pot-bellied pigs, miniature ponies, donkeys, and Pizsi the sheep roam freely. A 13,450 sq ft indoor riding hall comes with changing rooms and a club lounge. Summer brings camps for kids and adults; the whole place invites you to switch off and slow down.
Stopovers and Storybook Stays

Inside, rustic pine furniture fills fully equipped rooms and kitchens. The 3.7-acre fenced, landscaped grounds feature a garden pavilion, wood-fired oven, yurt (jurta), and a playground, with a medicinal herb garden in progress. Stay for hours or weeks—your call.
