Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very beautiful location. Only difficulty we faced was unable to use baby pram since the geography is hilly. The old building is not properly maintained. Initially I got room in 52 old building which was bit difficult to stay because of some cleaning substances smell and dark green background in that room makes room dark with negative energy. Anyway they sorted it my giving another room 67 in new building but in that room there was no windows to see the natural beauty. room 68 was very excellent with proper lighting and ventilation. I suggest all rooms should be same like in room no 68.
It was lovely. However, you need to be quite fit to get up to your room. The check in and the breakfast was across the road. This was not made clear . Bit challenging when raining. Even getting the car up the hill can be tricky.
I should have reviewed the rooms better as I booked to go into the lake house not knowing it was up a small incline which was too much for my 81 yr old mum. Rooms are beautifully decorated and has everything you need just wrong location for us.
Friendly staff, lovely decor, tasty breakfast. However flies in bathroom (dead and alive) and a few cobwebs and dust in room. Nothing terrible but felt it could have been a bit cleaner for price.
the staff at the hotel were friendly, helpful and polite over our entire stay the breakfasts were very good as were the evening meals always arrived quite quickly and lovely and hot - our room was comfortable and warm - was a wonderful xmas break and we would definitely stay again - thank you!!
