Very peaceful and relaxing. We had a balcony with the best view of the lake! Amazing! The grounds were lovely also. The man at the desk was very lovely, friendly and helpful. However, they desperately need poo bag bins! It’s a great hotel for dogs and there were no restrictions, however there were no bins at all to put the poo bags which was very annoying. But apart from that no issues. ##### Edward Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dom Apr 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely staff, impressive building Very welcoming and friendly staff, there was a small problem with the original room which couldn’t be fixed, but the staff were excellent and immediately moved us into a nearby room as a complimentary upgrade. Handled very professionally and the same staff member checked in with us later in our stay.

The location & setting was amazing. The staff were all very friendly and professional. The Reception staff were excellent and very accomodating. The building is looking at bit tired in places and would benefit from some upgrades especially externally. The evening meal was good although portion sizes were a bit questionable given the prices charged. The wine on offer also was a little disappointing. Breakfast wasnt the standard i was expecting. ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### jennifer Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I enjoyed my stay.
