He only disappointment was that the pool was not open; otherwise an excellent experience. All the staff including the restaurant were friendly & attentive. The location was great for access to the town centre & the lakeside walks.

What could be improved: The pool was closed.

Food was delicious although of vast proportion. The staff were delightful and one waiter (whose name we did not get unfortunately)at dinner gave us excellent local recommendations. Lovely coffee shop on site and hotel right beside the lake with great views and local walks.

What could be improved: Not much. A great stay.
