The room overlooking the lake was beautiful and the spa was amazing! Just make sure you book the thermal journey with the hotel asap as it gets booked up very quickly and we nearly missed out. The thermal spa journey was by far the best experince.

Lovely quiet courtyard room - 309 - would request again for the peaceful location. We have stayed in a lake view room in the past and would pick the courtyard over it, as it means you aren’t on the main road.
All the staff are friendly and helpful, from check-in, to spa, to restaurant.

Views are beautiful staff friendly and helpful, breakfast plenty of options. Have to pay for parking which I think was £12. We used the out door spa which was beautiful but you do need to book in advance. Cocktails with a view perfect way to spend the day. We will return 😊
