An excellent hotel!!!
The hotel is in an amazing location- right next to a massive lake! We just stayed for one night, but very soon felt that we should have stayed longer to really enjoy the hotel! The only glitch was that the water pressure in the bathroom was low, and the washbasin drained rather slowly.

Very nice, obliging staff. My room could have done with a refreshing, but it had a spacious terrace with lovely lake view. On balance, a nice place to stay.
