beautiful groundssmall double roomweak shower
the staff were friendly and the grounds were beautiful.
I booked a double room lake view and it was smaller than expected. There was too much furniture, and the double bed felt cramped. the shower pressure was also very weak, like a warm garden hose.

The staff offered great service. The standard of cleanliness was very high. The food I had was great. I thought the hotel was beautiful and dog friendly. They gave my dog five-star treatment.
The hotel didn't have a minibar in the room. I thought the room was a bit small. This was if you were planning a visit with your family. I think they should add minibars.
