Really Lovely, very short stay for us. Stay was perfect Area is serene and beautiful however just felt a little isolated and hardly any lighting on the streets making it a little unsafe when driving in the dark. Although was perfect location for the hike we wanted to join in the morning.

Food was great

Newly refurbished hotel. We stayed in a standard double which was nicely appointed . The bed however was very bouncy and the floorboards creaky. The walls are thin as I could hear the person in the next room snoring. The food was of a high standard both for dinner and breakfast. I would recommend staying but would book a twin next time

Cosy night in the lakes

Arrived late afternoon. Reception was all ready for our arrival, so hassle free. Booked in for the evening meal and had some refreshments before viewing the room. Very happy with the room and really clean. Had our meal and were happy enough with all the food, very tasty. The bar lounge was comfortable and a decent drinks selection on other, an excellent whiskey selection was also available. The staff did ask if anyone required more drinks as they were closing the between 9pm and 10pm. I guess if more were in, it might stay open longer. We slept really well and were very happy with the breakfast the following morning. The staff were very attentive and professional. We'd certainly come back.
