Friendly staff, nice food and a relaxed atmosphere. Rated low for value for money after discovering the next hotel down was 20 quid cheaper, identical quality and far superior lake views. Also, the hotel has a stupid policy of being shut between midnight and 8am, only providing a code for the back door that some drunk idiot forgot. My window was directly above the door so I got woken up by his banging and had to go let him in.

The setting near the lake was great Cleaning Staff were shouting early every morning directly outside our room. Shower was very poor as it just was a hose form the bath. The temperature of the water fluctuated from scalding hot to freezing cold and vice-versa. Drinks were added to our room without our knowledge.

The room decors were cozy and comfy and restaurant service was excellent. Too far from the train station. We had trouble to find the hotel cause the GPS showed the wrong direction.

Lovely location. The staff gave us a large room with wonderful views of the mountains. We stayed for eveing dinner and the food and service were excellent. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and courteous. The only thing we didn't like was to come back from breakfast to find 3 cleaning ladies in our bedroom making our bed. Bearing in mind that we didn't have to vacate the room until 11am a bit more privacy would have been appreicated as all our clothes and stuff were all still out.

The room was recently and well-decorated with quality fittings including an ingenious blind. The service was very friendly - I was shown round the hotel and to my room. The service at breakfast was simply excellent. Even after I checked out and asked to stay for a bit longer, I was made to feel welcome and brought a complimentary cafetiere of coffee. Nothing really

The accommodations were lush and beautiful and the location just across from the lake was excellent. The food was also delicious. There's not actually access to the lake from the hotel. The lake is across the street (a busy street), but one has to walk a ways in either direction to actually find public access to the lake itself.

Virtually everything Although wifi was available, it was only available in the lounge area. For a very small extra cost the hotel could and should extend it throughout the hotel.

Very friendly staff and lovely public lounges and grounds. The room was overpriced. It was very comfortable but had no view. Had there been a nice view of the lake or gardens then it might have been worth it.
