10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay, stunning accommodation.
Linda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The geothermal waters have corroded the Tapware and other fittings within the facility. We checked in after hours and the process was smooth overseen by restaurant staff. Unfortunately, the bathroom requires a really good scrub down and showering left us feeling dirty. We did not have breakfast in our package. Parking was abundant and free and it was lovely to look around the lake. Approximately 10 to 15 minutes back into town.

Nice hotel with some history in lakeside setting. Friendly and helpful staff. However, we would prefer proper separation between bedroom and bathroom. Apart from that it was fine.

We loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom which actually warmed the whole room up so didn't need to put the heat pump. We enjoyed the dinner in the restaurant and loved the open fire there.
