The room was spacious but not with bed and furniture very old. The shared areas (bar and restaurants) not pleasant. The external area is nice, its a shame that they dont invest in a good restructuring of the building.

We got here a bit earlier and enjoyed around a drink around the lake. Our room was very spacious on the ground floor with a patio. We had dinner and was really nice. The lady on reception leant us a charger as we had forgot ours. Staff are really pleasant and friendly.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were friendly during my visit as they have been on previous visits. Some updating of the rooms is required and the cleanliess could be better in the bathrooms, but overall it is value for money for the state of some of the areas. Breakfast includes a good choice of continental and cooked options and is within the room price which is great value. I had a comfortable stay overall and reception noted down the 2 issues i had with the room (which didn't require a change of room)

We like the surrounding in special the lake was beautiful but inside room was a constant bad smell coming from the carpet. However the room was clean but due to the constant smell inside room makes us to rate the hotel very low. We left the windows open 24h but still not enough to remedy the issue we faced on our stay.

This is basic accommodation near a busy main road. The toilet in the room wasn’t fully clean and the towels were stained. The decor throughout the inn is dated. Whilst there is a nice view of the lake from some rooms, the outside seating areas for each room are exposed to all other rooms so there is no privacy. The restaurant food isn’t great, but just about edible. You know you are staying in a three star hotel.

This place is an odd little gem. It’s a little bit faded and has room for improvement, but overall I really really love the venue and the lake and it has a real charm

Nice stay
The stay was really lovely, the room was basic and it need of a little update. Good food and drinks and sitting by the lake was a nice touch. The biggest downfall was being on the 2nd floor with no balcony or terrace.
