Stayed locally for a weeks holiday.
Booked a meal here for 2 nights during our stay and had a wonderful, well prepared and presented meal on both nights. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Hotel itself is very nice and plan to re visit and stay here for a short break next time. Well worth a visit and to eat here. Husband said minted lamb pie was the best he had and pastry to die for.

I can't fault anything about this hotel. The location is superb. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are cosy and have everything you need with very comfy beds and views of the lake. The evening meals and breakfasts are incredibly delicious and cater for all. The lounge areas are lovely. I cannot wait to come back again.
