Disliked: Amenities
The hotel boasts wifi, which it has, but it does not connect to the internet which makes it pointless. I travel alone, having lost my wife recently, so I rely on internet for comms and entertainment. I explained this to the staff, but they didn't help. I checked out a day early because I couldn't stay and just spend my evenings sat in the room doing nothing, the hotel refused to give me a refund.

The hotel was fabulous, it’s right by a lake and is decorated beautifully. The staff were very friendly, especially the lovely guy who checked us in and was looking after the floor during the evening - so helpful!

Nice welcome, cozy and warm. Clean and bright rooms. Good menu and reasonably priced. Food could have been hotter but was tasty. Although a decent choice on the menu, 3 of the main courses were not available so was restricted with choice. All staff were friendly and chatty. Breakfast was disappointing, as we turned up at 9.15 choice was down to minimum and no glasses for juice and was told no further food would be cooked. Can see the future potential in what is being provided and will re-visit, and may try others further afield.
