Beautiful area and lovely kind welcoming people.
Pros:

Comfortable spot . Quiet at night. Very clean. Lovely staff

It’s a pity we didn’t have a self catering option. It was hard pay for all meals when you have four teenagers/Adults . Very busy road crossing over to dining room.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

When staying at the lodge, you have to check-in at the hotel. If you need a new key, you have to go to the hotel. If you want breakfast, you have to walk to the hotel and the hotel is a 5-minute walk. I asked for a late check-out, I got it for 1pm. The cleaning staff barged into my room at 11am... didn't even knock - I'm glad I had the lock on. At noon, the receptionist ask when I was going to leave. I had to make several trips to get everything in my car. I went back up and the key didn't work so the lodge receptionist had to run up to the hotel receptionist to get a new key. Overall, I had a good stay.

Pros:

The staff are all very friendly and the room was spacious with the bonus of overlooking the river. Lovely location and definitely would recommend a stay here.

Cons:

We booked to stay New Years Eve again this year as we were there last year and enjoyed it. Unfortunately this year it felt like the hotel was overcrowded. The staff were very friendly but we had a wait for our seat for dinner which we had booked. They seemed to be very busy and the meal, although quite tasty, wasn't hot enough and was probably left waiting to be served a little longer than it should. Because it was so busy and we were hungry we didn't make as issue of it. Unlike last year we didn't stay in the lounge area to ring in the New Year and headed back to our room.
