We had a lovely stay at the hotel with really comfortable rooms and exceptional dining experiences. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making our family feel right at home. However, there was a slight hiccup during our afternoon tea, where the service and selection did not meet the usual standards, leaving us a bit disappointed. Overall, it's a great spot for families looking to relax and enjoy a nice meal.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, thanks to the warm atmosphere and spacious, beautifully decorated rooms. The location is fantastic, being close to the town and the lakes, though it can get a bit noisy with children in the pool area. The dining experience was excellent, especially the Sunday roast, but there were a few hiccups with room readiness and staff noise in the mornings. Overall, it's a lovely place with great potential, but a few adjustments could make it even better.

I had a great experience at this hotel, the cleanliness and modern amenities really stood out. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, especially during meal times. However, the location was a bit surprising being nestled between a busy road and residential area. The New Year celebration was lacking in excitement, which was a letdown for the festive spirit. Overall, it's a decent spot with good rooms and facilities.

While the hotel offers a stunning spa area and overall clean facilities, my experience was marred by issues with the room's condition and inadequate dining options for dietary restrictions. The staff were friendly but the service had some inconsistencies, leading to a mixed experience overall. The location is convenient for exploring the area, which is a plus.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, while the spa facilities were superb, I did note some comments about local children using the pool during the day.
