Pros:

It has a restaurant and the rooms facing the lake have a mice outdoor space

Cons:

The initial room had a nousy bathroom fan, annoying dripping tap and was very hot in the afternoon as there were 30 degree days room facing west and no AC. Overall may be fair value for area but its alll a bit tired

Het was prima voor deze prijs en - wat ik zelden doe - tweede keer geboekt vanwege gunstige ligging en prijs.
Pros:

Ligging, uitvalsplek voor Londen en National Trust, prachtig meer, aardige mensen. Heerlijke beden. Ruime kamer, prima parkeren.

Cons:

De kantine-achtige bar waar je ‘s avonds kunt eten. Wat meer sfeer zou fijn zijn.
De tv is wel wat klein voor de afstand.
Het is Ietwat gedateerd.
