I had a wonderful experience at the hotel, where the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff genuinely seemed to care about our comfort. The dining options, especially dinner, were top-notch with delicious food that made each meal an event. However, I did find a couple of areas to improve, like the maintenance of the spa facilities and a slight delay with our afternoon tea service. Overall, it was a delightful stay with a mix of luxury and relaxation.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location right by the lake offered beautiful views, and the room we had was spacious and well-appointed. The service, however, was quite inconsistent, with several mix-ups in our bookings and orders that made for a frustrating dining experience. While the dining options were good, there was a lack of attention to detail regarding condiments and timing. Overall, despite the picturesque setting, I left feeling that the hotel could improve significantly in terms of service and dining consistency.
