What a lovely place. The staff were so kind and helpful during our stay, but especially when catering for allergies. The food at breakfast was really delicious and fresh. We didn’t eat evening meals or lunch but the menu was large. The boathouse is a very pretty location and the room was comfy with everything we needed. There were toiletries and tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room. There are geese and ducks outside. Would recommend!

we had a late dinner which did the job. unfortunately our room faced the car park so we didn't get the lake view but we did have a very friendly duck tapping on the window in the morning. we could walk to the front and see some of the lake but there was a wedding fair on so access was somewhat restricted. overall a pleasant room and quiet stay.

What a wonderful place to stay, the location is perfect if you are looking for a peaceful stay over looking a large lake. Our room was great, comfy bed and had its own sitting room so plenty of space to relax. The staff were so friendly and I really felt nothing would have been too much to if we asked. We didn't book a table for the evening but they made sure one was free for us. We are already planning on going back.
