Rawdons stay
Pros:

The view of the surrounding area was exquisite. We booked two rooms and the one room we booked had excellent heating. The bed was quite comfortable.

Cons:

The hotel could do with a renovation, it is outdated, a bit dark and there are a lot of water stains on the roof. The rooms could have been cleaned better, they weren't bad but not a four star experience. The heating was not working in one of the rooms. A card for the WIFI should be in every room, you shouldn't have to ask reception. The WIFI in general was not up to standard.

Perfect accomodation in a perfect setting
Pros:

From the start, we loved being at Rawdowns. Check-in was quick and friendly. We were allocated the family "Lake Cottage" which was a quaint thatch cottage on the edge of the lake. The cottage was tastefully decorated with comfortable furniture and 2 huge , comfortable king size beds. The shower was spacious and modern and the pressure was perfect with lots of hot water. The evening was a bit chilly but there was an abundant amount of chopped firewood to make a cosy fire. In the morning, we took the short walk to the hotel where a buffet breakfast awaited (included in the price). There were lots to choose from including teas/coffees, a variety of cereals and yoghurts, stewed fruits, a tasty cheese board ,fresh scones and an assortment of sweet treats. Added to this, a menu was available with hot breakfast choices.

Cons:

That we never discovered Rawdons Hotel before this trip ;)
