The breakfast was delicious with lots of choices. Staff were very helpful getting us plates and cutlery for a takeaway one night. The bath in the suite came in handy after hiking. The suite in the annex was spacious.
THE room had no soundproofing, so I could hear people in the beer garden late at night. I could also hear every footstep from the room above. Parking was also luck of the draw.

Excellent Stay with Great Breakfast

superb locationhelpful staffdelicious breakfastfree parking
The hotel has a SUPERB location near the shops and the lake. I found the staff cute and helpful. They always had a smile. The full English breakfast was delicious (the bacon was cooked CRISPY, just as I requested!). Free parking added to the convenience of the stay.
The room was located across the road and up three flights of stairs , made it difficult when I carried suitcases.
