The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while a bit dated with no views, feature a beautiful four-poster bed and ample space. The service is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, although the price may not reflect the value entirely. The location is convenient for exploring the lakes, although not all rooms have the best views. The dining experience is satisfying with a decent menu selection. Overall, a good option with some room for improvement.

The hotel's rooms were large and comfortable, with a mix of beautiful features and some un-renovated areas. Despite facing the road, the location was convenient with good food places nearby. The service was friendly and helpful, making the stay enjoyable. The location was excellent for exploring the countryside, and the dining experience offered good food. Overall, a pleasant stay marred slightly by noisy road-facing rooms and some cold spots due to old windows.

The hotel is set in a stunning location with plenty of walks right from the door. The rooms were comfortable but had a minor design flaw with an overhang above the bed. The service was friendly and helpful, although the music could be a bit loud at times. The dining experience was a hit or miss with tasty evening meals but room for improvement with some dishes. Overall, a beautiful area with lovely staff but could use a bit of TLC in some areas.
