underwhelming stay despite the views

overlooked detail turndown service
the location is undeniably beautiful with picturesque views of the lake.
I was quite disappointed that the turndown service i requested was not provided. The room remained exactly as i had left it and this detail felt overlooked..

a wonderful stay

polite staff fabulous food great pairings spacious bathroom
The staff at reception were very polite and professional. i found the food to be fabulous, both breakfast and dinner. the wine pairings with dinner were great. I really enjoyed them. the bathroom was spacious and it had a very high-tech loo.
The bar area was disorganized. It seemed difficult to get drinks for the lounge.

The hotel has a private boat called 'albatross', which offers lake cruises. The skipper and his mate provided excellent, informative company. afternoon tea is available and different from usual offerings. the hotel has amazing views.

The hotel is situated on the banks of the lake. Some photos look like they were taken at an italian lakes venue. the location provides a beautiful backdrop. It is an really good location, though the journey can take a while.

The setting had beautiful lake views. The service was friendly and efficient.
Our food was sadly poor, with small portions and badly cooked meals. Only one of the four meals was edible. Staff was not that bothered when we pointed out we could not eat our meals.
