Overall we had a excellent time. All staff very friendly,attentive and helpful. Food was excellent in the restraunt in the evening, as was breakfast... with lots of variety, and quality of food was of a very high standard. We had a family room which was lovely and clean and very spacious & comfortable. Only negative id say is that the room is probably due an upgrade as the bathroom was starting to look a little tired. Id definitely recommend and we will certainly stay again.

Lovely room and stunning views, very clean, ev car charging really useful, good food, most of the staff really helpful. A really enjoyable stay, but some areas need attention..we had a non working fridge, which was replaced and no longer fitted into the cupboard, so it was left alongside and was very noisy whilst trying to sleep, which we had to unplug. We did mention this at reception, but it was still there when we left. Shower spray not working, reported, but not fixed. Some parts of the property need maintenance and a mix up on the settling up of the bill when we left.

We enjoyed a weekend stay in a lake view room last weekend. We arrived early and was provided with a car parking permit to allow us to then explore the area before checking in. Our room was excellent. It was large, warm and the bathroom had underfloor heating. Once checked in, we explored the spa which was great. A small swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna and steam room were just what was needed on a relaxing weekend away. We had made reservations for the Ruskins restaurant in the hotel. The service and food was excellent and we really enjoyed our meal. Breakfast was also excellent. There was a buffet selection of pastries, fruit, cereal, yoghurts etc and we also ordered from the menu. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a relaxing weekend away.

Had a fabulous 5 days here. Staff were very attentive and professional at all times. Rooms clean and food, both breakfast and at dinner was extremely good. Only criticism was the wifi in the room we had which overlooked the lake was very very poor.

Breakfast no longer included.

Breakfast not included, we’ve booked and stayed here with hotels.com several times and breakfast has always been included but this time the hotel or hotels.com changed their policy and it wasn’t included. Disappointing and embarrassing when we went down for our breakfast.

A very nice hotel and room with aview. The Swimming pool and Sauna were good. We did not use the Gym which lacked some resistance equipment. On 2 days we had to call up to have the room sorted either a problem with the door label or having a schedule that did not match. We ran out of shower Gel (The container was opaque but must have been nearly empty when we arrived). There was a bath but no dispenser at bath level. The chairs and seat were too low for the table and dressing table. It would have been useful to have smaller (and cheaper) bar snacks or tapas in the evening as being rainy we mostly ate our main meal out at midday. Despite all these mainly management problems we did enjoy our stay and everyone was friendly and helpful. lks

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!
