Guest Reviews:
- "Fantastic breakfast. Excellent in-house dining with a fresh, creative menu and great wine list. We had a suite, which was luxurious, well-appointed and with panoramic views over the lake and countryside." - "From the outside, there's little to indicate how special this place is, but once you step into the dark, wood-panelled interior and take in the grand staircases and wonderful decor, you'll soon fall in love with this quirky hotel! My room was small, but very homely and comfortable. The bed was a delight and I slept marvellously! A last minute choice to dine in the restaurant was one of my best decisions in life - it was a magnificent experience! The service was exquisite, and the food a culinary masterpiece! After a perfect wild mushroom entrée, the gravlax was fantastic! But the filet mignon was out of this world, savoured with the paired cabernet sauvignon! A rhubarb and white chocolate pudding rounded-off dinner wonderfully! I fully anticipated a substantial bill, but at £90 it was a steal for something worthy of a Michelin star!"
