Great place to stay with exceptional views of the Pavilion Gardens from your room. Breakfast was fantastic with a huge choice to consider including, full English which really sets you up for the day. Clean rooms and friendly and helpful staff including Paul, who seems to be everywhere to help no matter how small the query is. Fantastic stay. ☆☆☆☆☆

This is more a guest house than an hotel. Room was very good, large and comfortable with a lake view. The bathroom was a bit tired with toilet roll holder and hook on the back of the door falling off. Shower was OK. …

The booking was made by a family member and on reading the very mixed reviews, I was somewhat concerned. It is a lovely looking house, overlooking the lake. On arrival a man opened the door and was at best, unwelcoming and grumpy.  …
