An enjoyable, comfortable and relaxing Stay
Pros:

We loved the picture window in our room overlooking the lake. It was good that the property was within walking distance of the Town.

Cons:

Got a little bit confused with the car park being in the basement, and how to get to it from outside to park, and then find our way to our room. It’s a big hotel.

It served its purpose. we needed a room for overnight stay and it was clean
Pros:

The lake view was nice

Cons:

The buffet breakfast was very busy, the food options weren't being kept up with as they had a tourist bus or two staying.
Cups and glasses were empty, juice was empty, they just couldn't keep up. We ate some toast and left

Good location but not great value for money
Pros:

The location of this property is amazing. Right by the lake and great morning views. The property is quite old but well maintained and has that old world feel

Cons:

Very basic amenities are missing which is quite shocking for the price that you pay for the rooms. Examples- there is tea provided but no milk in the fridge. There is no body creme available to use.

Service was quite basic with even the dirty cups not being cleared out post room service

We didn't spend must time in the hotel, to which I am grateful for.
Pros:

The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Room service was good and the room cleaned in a timely manner.

Cons:

The room was dated. The furniture had scratch marks and was chipped. The bathroom had a shower curtain over the bath. The bath tub had a repair patch in it. The television continuous lost service. The restaurant could do with more staff in the morning. There didn't seem to be a system in place for being seated. It maybe due to a language barrier. We were told to get our buffet breakfast while a table was being cleaned for us. When we went to be seated, someone else had taken the table.

Great room
Pros:

Good room, comfy bed, good shower, clean and tidy and all that we needed

Cons:

only negative thing to say is that the shower was over the bath, so you had to step into the bath for a shower.
