Relaxing Lakeside Stay

fine views warm unit great atmosphere helpful staff

The unit had fine views and was toasty warm. The restaurant atmosphere was great after cycles and walks. I liked the helpful staff and fires. The hotel's location provides access to the walks and cycles.

Some cupboards had locks, suggesting it belonged to someone else. This detail felt slightly odd.

The restaurant offers excellent meals and a lovely country pub atmosphere. Warm, cute fires burn in both the pub area and the separate dining room. Staff were accommodating, especially on a very busy night
