    Good location. However, multiple things that could be better. I had informed the hotel it was our wedding anniversary but this was not acknowledged and nothing done to make it feel special. Difficult driveway access to the lakehouse parking and also very limited. Didn't realise that check in was at the pub opposite the road (busy road to cross). Long, slow moving line to check in. Room small but had all amenities. Cleanliness could be better due to lots of dust and dead flies on windowsills. Lots of noise from other guests in the early hours of the morning that could be heard. Breakfast good with vegetarian options. Overall okay but could have been better.

    It's fine.

    It is very confusing when you first arrive. It isn't clear that you need to go down the hill, over the road and into the pub to check in. Once you've managed that then it's OK but if the weather is bad there isn't a lounge to relax in.

    We enjoyed the excellent location and view from the hotel as well as the good quality breakfasts and on two nights evening meals in the Waterhead Inn bar which is part of the whole package.
