Nice hotel in beautiful setting
The hotel is very nice with excellent views and a very good breakfast. Prices are quite high but with little competition and the beautiful surrounding area it is to be expected.

There aren’t many options for lodging so you’re kinda stuck. Staff are wonderful. Parts of hotel nice, but room was dated and the bathtub/shower are tricky.

Hotel is in an excellent and beautiful location. So near all you need for a relaxing stay. Comfortable and quiet.
Our room ( booked several months in advance) was on the ground floor at the back of the hotel in a corner so our view of the spectacular scenery was limited unfortunately.
This was a bit disappointing .
Breakfast is self service and excellent. Huge choice.

The Hotel had a group party that lasted untill 2:30am very noisy and never got to sleep and had an early am train to catch. The staff acted like it was no big deal but at that price point they should of cared about all of there guest and not put our room above party and never advised us of group event.

Nice hotel with character. Beautiful views from our room. Great breakfast (choice of numerous fish, cheese, meats including some unusual stuff like cured lamb).
Very close to the train station, all the activities, and ferry.

Breakfast is gorgeous. Booked dinner and surprised it was a buffet. Room is in back corner dark hallway next to the service room but still charging for over $400. Nothing fancy in the room.
