Perfect gateway to the lakes.

This is such a fantastic hotel. The rooms are clean, tasteful and comfortable. We came here for a romantic getaway and came back 2 weeks later with our daughter. Great location. A person slice of heaven.

Lovely location in the lakes and nice and quiet. Spa was also nice with a great view! However what’s included and the facilities don’t really match what’s there - breakfast isn’t included unless you pay despite it saying everywhere on Expedia that it is, and having no option to add it. Some staff very condescending when we tried to query this, or declined a paid room upgrade we didn’t need and it made us feel below them, like we were cheapskates when just trying to get what we paid for, which dampened the whole experience. Some staff were lovely and helpful however. Food is nice, but very overpriced in the restaurants as they know there’s nowhere else to eat nearby. Room was noisy and you could hear everyone walking around above and below at all hours. Endless loop of the same 20 guitar/piano pop covers on 24/7 will drive you nuts if you sit in the lounge areas for more than an hour! Lake cruise boat outside and the beautiful area are the big, but some of the few highlights. We had a nice time, but I don’t think we’ll be back!

Every aspect of the hotel was great. The location, building and presentation. Staff were fantastic, Lake View room was a treat and offered a very large double comfortable bed. The only down point was that our room was not serviced following our first night stay. Although reception was informed during the afternoon the room did not get serviced or towels changed. Spoke to house keeping next day and again by 3pm the housekeeping staff had disappeared and the room was not serviced. Complained at Reception and room was eventually serviced !

A review of 2 halves...the restaurant served remarkable food, the location on the lake shore is idyllic and the swimming pool with open access to a private lake side garden is very special. Even better if...they turned the heating down/off when it's 20⁰ outside. My room and corridor outside were stifling for 48 hours even after I'd turned the bathroom radiator off. The noise from the kitchen staff in the yard below was disruptive and given the room temperature, the choice was air or quiet. Reception were very quick to respond positively when I called at 9pm to advise of the loud banter below.

We stayed in the family suite. The main parts of the hotel were very nice and well maintained. The restaurant and restaurant staff were an asset to this hotel. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 starts was our room. It really needs an update. in its current state, the family suite is a bit dated and not inline with rest of the hotel. We were told the rooms will get updates over the winter months. Once this is done, this is a gem of a hotel! We really enjoyed the boat service infront of the hotel.

Stayed here a few times and it is really beautiful inside and out. The bar and restaurant staff are the only reason the fifth star is missing. Nothing is explained in the restaurant with regards to menus and the service is slow. They also often forget orders or get them wrong and that seems to be consistent throughout the whole of the waiting staff. Reception staff are good and friendly but again don’t explain the bill at the end of the stay. So I’ll let you know now when in the restaurant, the food and drinks are charged separately on your final invoice. The room was great my kids and dog loved it and the pool is lovely and relaxing. Overall a great stay and I will be returning many more times hopefully.
