An excellent hotel with beautiful lake views and great value for money.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly, and our room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The exceptional lake view was a highlight of our stay.

Cons:

Housekeeping was only available upon request, and we would have preferred automatic daily service. However, when we requested it, the room was left spotless.
