The hotel had a lovely atmosphere with well chosen antique furniture. Staff were both helpful, polite and efficient. Happy to help with a last minute change of booking and also room change to allow us a quieter room on our last night. Breakfast was very good with a great range of cereals and fruit. The homemade fruit yoghurt was a nice surprise Locally sourced food was evident in the cooked breakfast. This is a great hotel handily located close to restaurants and shops.

What a lovely property to stay in. We spent 2 nights there in a cosy double. The room was a perfect size for a short stay with a nice modern bathroom and free toiletries. We found it easy to park too. Their carpark is at the front entrance and can fit 7 cars in comfortably. The breakfasts each morning were absolutely delicious with both continental and hot cooked offerings and excellent filter coffee. Each day there was chocolate cake on a glass domed plate - a nice touch for those who needed something sweet. The location is perfect for walking and the bus transport around the lakes is good. There are local restaurants and cafes which we found a little pricey and a co-op for picnics (closed for refurb when we were there so check before you visit). There's also gift shops and some hiking shops but again, be prepared for a price hike!

Great stay, would have liked a curtain or blinds on the bedroom window. Also, the lounge area needs brightening up, maybe introduce a small bar area or light bites of an evening to purchase. Quirky but enjoyable.
