Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location on the lake beautiful gardens . Excellent food. Friendly and helpful staff during our stay.
Negative: We stayed over the weekend when there was several large weddings on nearby.It was very noisy with loud music being played at the hotel and wedding venues from mid morning to the early hours of the morning. The bedrooms are very dated and could do with a refurbishment.We thought there was fridges in all the rooms but there wasn’t. Before our stay I had messaged and emailed the hotel through Booking .com and privately and no reply. I ended up having to phone from the UK.
Summary: Lake side hotel in good location,excellent food.If you stay at the weekend very noisy.
