It was just okay because the hotel was tired and grubby, in our room the shower was not clean the safe did not work room in general needs upgraded and properly cleaned, staff were not helpful because they were so busy, Steam room was cold and again not fresh, went to bar for a drink before dinner and I am still waiting on it, table was covered in dust on top and underneath. Dinner was good but waitress kept touching my husband ( Scottish Lady ) not acceptable, then when we were having cheese & biscuits, both waitresses started spraying cleaning solution all over tables next to us and was landing on our skin and food.

Very disappointing lunch. Very overpriced and mostly inedible - dry bread, chicken, brown salad. We provided feedback and they didn't seem to care! Lovely view of the lake but we all left hungry and cross about how much we spent for the privilege!

Perfect location, comfortable room and very friendly staff! Food also very good, however not much available for vegans or those who cannot tolerate soy. Big shout out to Hazel in the dining area for her outstanding and considerate service! These American girls loved your work!

Room was on booking.com for 250. But as we had the dog the cost was 370. So over 100 for dog to stay! I was expecting something special but it was quite dated and basic in comparison to other hotels in the area. Dark rosewood style furniture and small bathroom. Nothing luxurious. Staff lovely. Views over lake lovely. Full English breakfast was just OK.

Nice hotel good location but dated. We had a beautiful room, quite large and a spa day. The massage therapist were very poor. I wouldn't recommend any of the treatments as the therapists are not skilled and appear to be disinterested. The restaurant was really good with great staff and good quality meals.
