The staff were awesome and let us check in early which was a lifesaver and were lovely to chat to during our stay. Super warm rooms means dry overnight. Walkable to loads of restaurants and nature reserve etc. Would Def's stay here again

8.4/10 Very Good! (398 reviews)

This is a really excellent hotel. It has a beautiful, old style and there has been a lot of attention to detail. The food is absolutely outstanding, the staff is excellent, and the views of the mountains over the lake are unforgettable. Price was very very reasonable. The only negative is that the Wi-Fi is pretty poor, but I suspect that has more to do with where it's located. than anything the hotel has control over. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
