Amazing location, friendly staff, easy access to other touristic locations. Nice breakfast limited in open buffet, but I think it’s enough with the option of ordering hot food. Love the parking in front of the B&B. We played golf and enjoyed very much. Overall, we had a really positive experience.

We stayed only 1 overnight on the way down from scotland. We could see lot of people staying for visiting the lakes. The hotel is in a very nice location. They are also pet friendly and they provided us a towel and a bowl for the dog. We highly recommend both breakfast and set menù dinner which was very nice. Room was clean and bathroom looked recently renewed.

We had a fantastic 3-night stay in 'superior' room 7. The welcome was super-friendly and the breakfast excellent. Brilliant location with good parking. Our room was large, charming and had a lovely green view. The breakfast room had a lovely ambience. The four-poster bed was comfy and the bedding great quality.
