What a wonderful place to stay, the location is perfect if you are looking for a peaceful stay over looking a large lake. Our room was great, comfy bed and had its own sitting room so plenty of space to relax. The staff were so friendly and I really felt nothing would have been too much to if we asked. We didn't book a table for the evening but they made sure one was free for us. We are already planning on going back.

Worth a visit

72 working nights away over the past twelve months, don't normally leave reviews. The standards here, however, are truly exceptional and deserve recognition. Definitely worth a visit.
