The staff were fab, so nice and friendly, the restaurant was excellent with great service, food and cocktails, very generous starters. The room was spotless and comfortable but it was really hot and only had a ceiling fan that made a noise, so I didn’t sleep well, but apart from that, it was great.

Room was okay. Clean enough, but quite dated. Was very stuffy when we first arrived in room. Expected a little more dinnerware for a Superior Studio. Staff very friendly. Onsite restaurant was good. Parking is very limited.

The rooms are dated and need refreshing , the spa was not in proper working order and when it was on it was freezing cold ( only reason we booked it was for the spa) and its lake location . It would have been a great place in its early days . Would I return no.

Booked s budget double, wax told on arrival that he as bunk beds. Sorted that out, given a queen double room, only to find it hadn’t been cleaned after the previous occupants two days earlier. Second new room was ok though, but s frustrating start.

Biggest pain was the bathroom door didnt close properly left a 100mm gap. Otherwise good sized room, and the service and meal at the restaurant was excellent..the views from the restaurant are superb. Service desk was at least half an hour late unlocking doors to the stairs, not the best.
