Summary: Excellent stay here. Friendly staff. It’s a historic hotel but appropriately modernised for a comfortable stay. There’s an honesty bar that is well stocked. A great range of choices from the buffet breakfast. Amazing location overlooking the lake (try to get a lake view room) and near to shops and restaurants. A delightfully comfortable bed.
