Had a fabulous 5 days here. Staff were very attentive and professional at all times. Rooms clean and food, both breakfast and at dinner was extremely good. Only criticism was the wifi in the room we had which overlooked the lake was very very poor.

Breakfast no longer included.

Breakfast not included, we’ve booked and stayed here with hotels.com several times and breakfast has always been included but this time the hotel or hotels.com changed their policy and it wasn’t included. Disappointing and embarrassing when we went down for our breakfast.

A very nice hotel and room with aview. The Swimming pool and Sauna were good. We did not use the Gym which lacked some resistance equipment. On 2 days we had to call up to have the room sorted either a problem with the door label or having a schedule that did not match. We ran out of shower Gel (The container was opaque but must have been nearly empty when we arrived). There was a bath but no dispenser at bath level. The chairs and seat were too low for the table and dressing table. It would have been useful to have smaller (and cheaper) bar snacks or tapas in the evening as being rainy we mostly ate our main meal out at midday. Despite all these mainly management problems we did enjoy our stay and everyone was friendly and helpful. lks

Perfect gateway to the lakes.

This is such a fantastic hotel. The rooms are clean, tasteful and comfortable. We came here for a romantic getaway and came back 2 weeks later with our daughter. Great location. A person slice of heaven.

Lovely location in the lakes and nice and quiet. Spa was also nice with a great view! However what’s included and the facilities don’t really match what’s there - breakfast isn’t included unless you pay despite it saying everywhere on Expedia that it is, and having no option to add it. Some staff very condescending when we tried to query this, or declined a paid room upgrade we didn’t need and it made us feel below them, like we were cheapskates when just trying to get what we paid for, which dampened the whole experience. Some staff were lovely and helpful however. Food is nice, but very overpriced in the restaurants as they know there’s nowhere else to eat nearby. Room was noisy and you could hear everyone walking around above and below at all hours. Endless loop of the same 20 guitar/piano pop covers on 24/7 will drive you nuts if you sit in the lounge areas for more than an hour! Lake cruise boat outside and the beautiful area are the big, but some of the few highlights. We had a nice time, but I don’t think we’ll be back!

Every aspect of the hotel was great. The location, building and presentation. Staff were fantastic, Lake View room was a treat and offered a very large double comfortable bed. The only down point was that our room was not serviced following our first night stay. Although reception was informed during the afternoon the room did not get serviced or towels changed. Spoke to house keeping next day and again by 3pm the housekeeping staff had disappeared and the room was not serviced. Complained at Reception and room was eventually serviced !
