We enjoyed the thermal hotel and spa tremendously. The staff is extremely kind and helpful, the room well-appointed (fridge, microwave, dishes, utensils, kettle) not to mention your own hot tub, although we used the hotel’s pools which are super nice. There is a lovely lakeside path right across the street. It was delightful and we were only sorry that we couldn’t stay longer!

We stayed for 3 nights recently and found the property had everything we needed. It had a good sized kitchen and bathroom and a huge comfy bed. It's close to the town centre, cafes and shops. Carol was really lovely, very welcoming and helpful. The 4 hot pools are amazing and spacious.
