My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here. We were fortunate to have a beautiful Double Room. The staff was friendly and helpful (they really were really nice). Breakfast was delicious, especially the cooked-to-order items.

The hotel is set in beautiful gardens with views overlooking the lake. It is a bit outside the city centre, but a short drive makes up for that. A bus stop is located at the end of the hotel's driveway.

Our Double Room was spacious and clean with fresh decor. It featured a comfortable bed, seating, and a vanity unit. The dimmer switch lighting created a relaxed atmosphere.

adequate stay near the lake
convenient locationhelpful staffcar parkbasic room
the location is quite convenient near the lake. it allowed for pleasant walks. the staff was helpful. there were benches for nice views.
The room i got overlooked the car park. the room itself felt basic for the price i paid. It resembled a 3-star room. i think there are better options in the area for the same cost.
