The staff were helpful and hardworking but overworked. There was a stench of sewerage that was apparent outside and even indoors in certain areas. Our room was well ordered and comfortable. Definitely needs some attention to the waste!! Menus for vegetarians and for continental breakfasts extrememly limited.

Excellent location.

Very good location with a view of the lake. Restaurant was good with friendly staff. 15 minutes walk from the village centre and a short drive from John Ruskinā€™s house which is well worth a visit. Even The Ild Man had no clouds! All in all we had an enjoyable two night break.
