Great stay, we arrived while the hotel waa experiencing a local power cut and the team on duty couldn't have been more helpful. It was all resolved quickly and we had a brilliant weekend. The spa was clean and well maintained, breakfast was well cooked and the hotel was spotless. We stayed in a loft room with a sauna, steam room and spa bath and it was gorgeous. Light and airy with lots of space, we'll definitely be back!

The breakfast was freshly cooked and it was really flexible choice from the menu. There was a full continental choice including porridge and whiskey and fruit and pastries. The staff were exceptional and you could see them being flexible across all areas of the hotel to make sure guests did not need to wait for anything. The parking was easily accessible and there was a spa and gym facilities that we didn't use as we had not prepared but when we go back we will definitely pack out swimming costumes

4/10 Fair

Very old fashioned room desperately in need of a refurbishment and a deep clean. Would suit a couple in their 80’s as that was the decor. Breakfast was nice, but when my wife ordered poached eggs on toast she got 1 egg on 1/2 piece of toast, was pretty funny as it looked sad on the plate. Staff were lovely

10/10 Exceptional

Great location for the lakes and central, great hotel - lovely. Bit of advice they have just opened up an outside bar in front of the special spa rooms, so if you are in a spa pool on your balcony it may be noisy - need to check with hotel I would suggest. The bar wasn't open when we went, It was just below and in front of our balcony so I can imagine it could get rowdy on an evening when some may just want to relax in their private outdoor spa on the balcony with a lovely view ? And the rooms are not cheap !! Great rooms as you have a private infra-red sauna and steam compartment/shower = WOW!! Breakfast and restaurant dinner food delicious

Breakfast was good and liked the table service. Larger room with balcony was nice and clean. However the bed was a bit uncomfortable and lumpy and the sauna was not working and steam room was only partially working. Pool and jacuzzi all good. Very nice seating areas around bar and would recommend

Wonderful, relaxing stay. Clean and comfortable rooms with robes and slippers provided, making spa use easier. Spa facilities good although steam room unavailable for one day - awaiting repair so no one's fault. The staff coped exceptionally well during an unexpected, regional power cut. They were excellent throughout our stay, and very helpful when we accidentally left a coat in the wardrobe. Thank you for making our short break, so relaxing and enjoyable.
