Pros:

Everything was as we expected. The food in the restaurant was excellent.

Cons:

There were no shelves or drawers for clothes, just a closet for hanging. Small things like shirts, shorts and Sox need shelves! Or drawers.

Elegant, modern, spacious accommodation in excellent location close to town and beautiful lake walks
Pros:

Our room was so spacious and elegant with the large windows and extremely comfortable beds. Excellent bathroom with plenty of space to put your toiletries. Fantastic location with amazing walks around a beautiful lake yet only a short walk to the town centre. The hotel is in a modern complex surrounded by good eating places and shops, including an excellent cinema where we saw a great movie. The complimentary spa was a great bonus. Friendly staff made our stay memorable and would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

Everything was perfect

Could have had more than one small mirror in the bathroom. A full length one would have been good.

Shame it was only for 1 night as I could have stayed in bed longer looking at the lovely view.
Pros:

Location was good with a choice of food options you could walk to.
The friendly staff. The room was lovely felt very spacious with floor to ceiling glass doors opening onto a small balcony to stand on and look at the amazing views.
The bed was a great size and very comfortable.
And the bathroom had everything you could need.

Cons:

Personal choice, I didn’t like the t bags.

Great place to stop for 1 night on a road trip
Pros:

It seemed very new and had a Great Lake out the back. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was good

Cons:

I was a bit surprised that it is sort of in a retail park . But it was very easy to park and supermarkets were nearby

Bien sans plus.
Pros:

On nous a téléphoné à l’avance pour connaître notre besoin quant à l’arrangement des lits.

Cons:

Nous n’étions pas côté lac tel que demandé. Le bruit du panneau électrique qui résonnait dans la chambre.
