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.

Booked breakfast for 7.30 . Tried several doors to get to dining room but all were locked. On our second visit we asked at the desk when we checked in and apparently there was one upstairs but there was no one we could ask at the desk on the previous stay and there was no written directions at reception. Otherwise our stays were satisfactory.

We chose a room with a bunk bed. The bunk bed was old, squeaky and unstable. Everytime someone moved you would wake up.
