Pros:

I liked the quiet area, lake , and lovely spa also. Staff very friendly. Beds comfortable and good facilities in the room.

Cons:

The prices in the Caffè are very high. As we pay already for the room, the cafe shouldn't be that overpriced food or darts. The breakfast, although fresh and lovely, lacks some options like eggs - could have options for omelette, scramble, or boiled eggs. No deli also like for example cheese or ham to have a sandwich or fresh vegetables - cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepers. Don't want to complain as we had lovely stay but some things could be upgraded .

Lovely funky hotel with lake views and great gym.
Pros:

Funky and great location to attend a wedding. Excellent gym, pool was small so no good for doing laps. Great if you are a golfer with a driving range. Plenty of parking. Lovely views of the lake. Seats on terrace iron and could do with cushions as uncomfortable.

Cons:

To start with the only way to book an accessible room is on the phone at a considerably higher price than through booking.com, Despite confirmation over the phone that an accessible room with a walk in shower close to reception was available my grandfather was placed into an "accessible" room with a standard bath the only thing accessible about it was a slightly wider door to accommodate a wheelchair, the room was on the second floor.

They staff did swap him into a more suitable room but the confusion and faff was easily avoidable had they actually listened and accommodated the requests made at the time of booking
