Lovely room. Awesome bed and shower. Staff attentive. Views excellent from bar. Will return.
Thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property, my room was perfect & I have to say 1st time I’ve stayed in a hotel & I’ve stayed in lots in the USA & have never had a towel warmer & a towel that actually wraps around you ,absolutely loved it
Thank you
Room was clean tidy and lovely surroundings of the hotel with a few different bars to drink and eat around it view of a lovely lake also. Was a bit loud very early in the morning with doors slamming woke us up and kept us awake earlier than we would of liked but overall an amazing spot with amazing views staff were lovely and very helpful towards us. Bar staff were great to talk to and was nice connecting with other guests who told us more about the hotel and the area.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Dinner was good but expensive, love the concept of a free drink in lieu of the room being cleaned if staying for 2 nights or more.
Clean room. Double and sofa bed for 3. Good sized warm room and bathroom. Nice location. Breakfast good - hot plate buffet as well as cereal / fruit/ yoghurt. Meals ok in bar. Run out of some things, so eat earlier ! Dont bother with cheese platter - small plate for £13 !! 😂. Would return
Staff were great, bed was extremely comfy, breakfast included was decent. The only negative was the condition of the room being quite run down but the bed and A/C made up for this.
A very pleasant stay here for a walking holiday. The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff courteous and friendly and very good breakfast. Would stay again
