Wonderful location and view. We had a room with the lake view and a four poster bed. The price paid for the room and breakfast was reasonable. The price for dinner and wine was quite steep and maybe this is the hotels compensation for the room rate. Saying this, the quality of the food was excellent and we very much enjoyed the two dinners and breakfasts we had. Staff were friendly and professional. My wife walked the entire circumference of the lake one morning and it is further than you may imagine.

The cost of the wine was steep a GBP13-15 retail wine is 50 in the restaurant. Dinner for two each evenings was ~GBP130 The bathroom was clean and functional but the shower head could have done with descaling to contain the spread.

It was as good as we hoped it would be based on all of the reviews. The lake view is truly beautiful, the grounds are well maintained and there are opportunities for walking in the countryside at the back of the hotel if the 12 miles round the lake on tarmac doesn’t appeal.

Some already high dinner menu prices had been increased above those on the website and the menu choices could do with being broadened. The food quality and presentation could not be faulted though.

Room very comfortable with amazing view of the lake. WiFi was a bit hit and miss. Breakfast was excellent. Evening meals a bit limited, we understood the pub would also serve food but when we arrived we were told they no longer did this which meant we had no choice but to eat in the restaurant with only a choice of the same 6 main courses. Also we hoped to walk round the lake but found parts of it closed off due to the clear up of Storm Darragh which is still taking place and will probably take most of the year. There were still some lovely walks but would have been nice to have been told this prior to visiting. We still had a lovely time staying here.

The location is great. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful.

We’ve been many times and felt this time the dinner menu wasn’t as good as previously. Being vegetarian and staying a few nights it was limited. We were able to order from the lunch menu but felt the food wasn’t as good as previously. However we did enjoy the breakfast menu.

We had a lake view room which was unbelievably beautiful even when the whether wasn't. Food was phenomenal even though the menu was limited, every meal was excellent and well worth it. You can have food to the room a la carte if you require it which was nice. Spa was very good, very small hot tub but nice facilities regardless. But the view, the view was the best thing.

No menus or helpful notes in the room. Had to borrow menus from the restaurant. Bar is only open from 5 onwards and some of the menus would be amazing if they were just all day. Breakfast menu was limited, and depending on what staff you had, some things were unavailable.

Lovely old hotel, warm and comfortable. Miles from nearest town of any size. Food was lovely, great breakfasts, Tapas and light bites imaginatuve. Limited main menu, but beautifully cooked and presented. The dark skies full of amazing stars were a true bonus.; the hotel could offer dark sky viewing just by turning outside lights off, or using downlight instead of floodlights

Unfortunately, storm Darragh in December 2024 did extensive damage to the forests surrounding the lake. It isn't possible to drive around the kake anymore, nor are some of walks permissible. The hotel could, maybe, forewarn visitors as part of the attraction is the lake drive and the varied walks and hikes

Breakfast, once again was absolutely scrumptious. Great attention to detail. The staff were all very chatty and attentive. `I could not fault the selection or presentation of the food as well as the service. The room was gorgeous with amazing views especially from the bath when taking an evening soak and on waking with superb views across the lake. The room size was WOW! bed so comfortable with beautiful linen and pillows to enhance a good nights sleep. From arriving the staff were quite amazing and attentive. We had an early evening tapas meal which was quite delightful, again with exception staff in attendance.

NOTHING

The location is great; the views of the lake are breathtaking. The premier lake room was large and had a balcony overlooking the lake. The food was lovely also.

Room was very hot; a fan was brought on request but was too noisy to leave on at night. Drinks service is slow; we had finished our starter before we got a drink and our coffee never arrived so se had one in the room. The staff are good ; they work hard but not enough of them to run the drinks service. We heard several people asking. In the afternoon no one on the bar and queue of 5. Everyone came for breakfast at 8; wish would open earlier.

Location was fabulous, such an amazing view over thr lake and garden. Food was delicious, but service was extremely slow in the evening. Breakfast service was much better. Great to have a little tray of croissants, toast, fruit etc to start before we ordered a cooked breakfast. One suggestion would be to note down where the food has come from on the menu. Ie are the sausages and bacon and other meat and dairy products local?

On the whole we had a lovely relaxing stay. The food was delicious and well cooked. Service was quite slow for the evening meal, but it was nice not to have to rush away from the table.

Lovely old building with lots of history and charm in a beautiful location. Views are stunning. Staff were very friendly. Room was very spacious and comfortable. We had a premier lake view room and it was worth paying slightly more for. View was amazing. Bed was very comfortable. Coffee making facilities and fridge in the room which was a nice touch.

The only cocktails we could get were on tap and were terrible! Not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel. We discovered another bar attached to the main building the following morning. Don’t know if they did fresh made cocktails or not?
