The self fill mineral pool was fantastic!!! Six foot across - so relaxing. The bed was huge and super comfortable and the room even had a partial view of the lake. The garden was beautiful and the staff just lovely. Only suggestion would be that some of the wooden furniture surfaces need a sand down and revarnish and the plastic above the pool and the shower also need a refresh. Will definitely be back!

The room had its own private spa, a good facility but difficult to get in and out of as it is recessed. We didn't like the bedrooms being upstairs and the bathroom downstairs. Otherwise it was comfortable.
