Little tricky to find needed one more direction board. Very friendly staff nothing was too much trouble. Food basic but well presented. Hotel decor looking a little tired, great view over lake. Would be very happy to stay again.

This is a REALLY nice hotel! Limited food menu and routine brekkie but the grounds are gorgeous and the rooms are very nice. Highly recommended with easy access. Probs a good wedding venue if you're into entering a contract with the state but I just went with my 4 year old who dressed as Thor for breakfast.

The staff are lovely and were incredibly helpful and nice throughout our short stay. I was really, really impressed. Sadly, the rooms themselves are a little dated with walls that are essentially paper thin. This makes for some excellent people watching (listening?) so may be a positive for some. The ground floor lake view rooms have lovely big glass doors that open onto a pretty lake. Be warned that the hotel path around the lake runs right past the window.

A nice way to make some friends perhaps, but a bit of a shock all round when other guests come strolling past and make eye contact as you enjoy a siesta. Although dated the rooms were clean. Some marks deducted for the half smoked roll up left in a drawer.

I was a wedding videographer here twice in a weekend. The staff were lovely and attentive to both myself and other suppliers as well as the hotel guests and wedding party. Everything ran smoothly. The exterior of the building doesn't do it justice to the lakes and interior. Stunning venue with staff who couldn't be more helpful. I'd highly recommend in all aspects! I even got to taste the bar menu for my dinner which was lovely!

Large airy rooms. Well thought out dog-friendly arrangements. Hotel close to a wide variety of mixed ability/challenge walks. Nice to find baths in rooms that accommodate generous figures! Staff friendly & helpful (towards humans as well!)

Great place to stay. Staff are polite and very attentive. A calm atmosphere where you can relax and take time out. A good bar and wonderful food makes your stay all the more acceptable. Top Drawer!
