Bar service was slow. Breakfast in the restaurant wasn't great. Everything was pre-cooked, and the fried eggs had obviously been sat there for a long time. In the bistro the breakfasts were freshly cooked and amazing

The room needed a bit of tlc. There was damp on the wall and paint coming off. On another wall there must’ve been something spilled on it and not cleaned up. It is advertised that they have a gym but apparently that has been closed for two years. It is a nice hotel and location wise is great.

Checked in and paid for 7 Nights, Checked out after 4 nights. Stated it catered for Gluten Free, when actually after the first morning breakfast that the hotel has no idea what food allergies are. They had no Separation between the sausages, bacon and black pudding all were thrown into the same serving dish. Nothing was labelled to say it was Gluten free or not. The staff were asked and just shugged there shoulders. Only 1 pathetic toaster for over100 plus guests. All the equipment was squashed into one corner, considering the space in the restaurant it was a joke. Queuing to get to the toaster. Children running a mock, nothing said to anybody, nearly dropped boiling water on top of a child, parents not really caring. Wife asked for Gluten Free breakfast, and was given 2 slices of warm GF bread, that was it as everything else contained Gluten or was cross contaminated. No GF cereal etc at all. Room was lovely and clean, but tired, grout to bathroom floor was missing 50% of the grout. Complained to 4 different staff about the GF food issue, all of the was not bothered in the slightest. DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL IF YOU HAVE ANY FOOD ALLERGIES, more like a 2 Star B+B, not a 4/5 Star hotel it claims to be.

Excellent stay, bed was comfortable and the room was spotless. The bathroom and communal areas could do with a bit of an update but it certainly didn’t spoil our stay. The best thing about the hotel has got to be the location and the view over the lake 👌

Lovely setting, room was pricey and we had scaffolding outside our window so not really happy about that, staff were excellent, breakfast was good, side room to the bar overlooking the lake was beautiful. I think it’s cheeky that they charge £15 per day for parking

Hotel was lovely and ideal location. Breakfast was at best warm, no tea pots was advised there wasnt any despite a table sat with tea pots! Toast pastries all ran out on the first day. Room was clean but very warm first day cleaning staff knocked on the door just after 9am which was a bit early really in my opinion and the second we were awake from 6:20am anyway with a noise of a motor or something that rang for 2hours till the room finally fell quiet. Shame about breakfast and looking forward to my own bed!

Myself and my husband chose this hotel for our anniversary and it didn’t disappoint! The hotel staff upgraded our room when we arrived and wow what a treat it was! The room was beautiful and so were the views from our room. It was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The hotel is a short walk in to the little town where there are plenty of restaurants, pubs and bars. The hotel over looks the boat docks so you can easily get boat tours around the lake. There is parking on site which does have a charge of £15 per day. The breakfast buffet was perfect. It was fairly small but had everything you could want. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and want to thank the staff for making our anniversary extra special!
