8/10 Very good

Nice hotel with some history in lakeside setting. Friendly and helpful staff. However, we would prefer proper separation between bedroom and bathroom. Apart from that it was fine.

Nobody at reception at check in or check out. WiFi did not work in my room. Very amateur staff
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom which actually warmed the whole room up so didn't need to put the heat pump. We enjoyed the dinner in the restaurant and loved the open fire there.
