    Not all the accommodation is accessed from inside the hotel.

    The location, friendly staff with a concierge to show you around, fantastic pool/spa and excellent food, especially the Mizumi restaurant.

    One night stay wasn't long enough to make full use of all the facilities. Perfect for 2+ night stay. Bed was comfy enough, admittedly slept well but would have expected a higher quality mattress for the price

    Fantastic views, quiet and private. Clean room. Staff helpful and professional. High quality from top to bottom. Great selection at breakfast. Unfortunately decided to venture out for food so didn't stay for evening meal but will be doing next time. Small double room was big enough for 2

    Only 1 tiny minute detail - the car park isn’t massive! So although check in is around about 4pm, you can access the spa/bar etc so I advise getting there earlier to guarantee a parking space and then check in later on!

    Absolutely stunning building, The room was spacious and very smart. Really nice decor and good sized bed! The hotel staff were amazing, Martin and Mark - both very friendly and assisted with anything we wanted! Including a free drop off in the Hotel Bentley! The spa was so nice, very high quality and the bar area was snazzy, almost like a movie. Will definitely be returning and look forward to our next stay!

    Although we were very happy with the breakfast, other hotels in the area do provide table service with a more personalised experience. The breakfast provided, although great, didn’t feel the same standard as the rest of the hotel.

    The staff were great and we didn’t have to wait long at all for service. The spa was very good quality and it was a bonus that it had a bar connected, however, could have been improved by a roofed connection to the main hotel. The location of the hotel is great within a short walk of the lake and the village.

    From the moment we arrived we were blown away! Not only is the hotel a stunning building and in a stunning lakeside location, the staff are super friendly. We were given a glass of Prosecco on arrival and personally shown to our room. We felt like nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed a cocktail that evening after making use of the pool, steam room and sauna and it was delicious! With views over the lake it was a perfect weekend getaway.
