Clean room, great steaks, breakfast was what we needed to get up the big hill and staff were welcoming - but short staffed at the bar and our room was in the basement overlooking the car park … can’t expect a lake view for the price I suppose

Staff were all bizarrely miserable without exception from what we experienced. It was really odd and was quite a vibe killer for what was otherwise an outstandingly beautiful hotel and location

The hotel was perfectly located for walking. The room was very clean there was just some lipstick/ makeup marks on the bathroom wall which I didn't expect as the room was expensive. But overall it was a luxury experience. Breakfast was nice
