the grounds are well maintained and offered beautiful views of the surrounding area. my room had tea and coffee facilities with quality biscuits provided daily
The walls felt thin. I could hear some noise from the adjacent room
the room was clean and the decor was lovely. the staff was polite, and i appreciated the quiet location. the view was also quite nice.
the room was not very soundproofed. i reminded me of i could hear my neighbors quite clearly. there was also a gap under the door letting light in all night.
My visit to the hotel was a dream! The staff were cute and ensured my stay was good. My Lake View King room offered lovely vistas I will never forget. The grounds were immaculate, perfect for a romantic stroll. Nature's beauty embraced us.
The Wi-Fi signal in my room was occasionally weak. This sometimes made it challenging to handle some emails.

Underwhelming Stay at a High Price
unresponsive stafflimited service
The service left a lot to be desired, frankly. I called reception to ask about room service and the person answering had NO IDEA what room service was! I also visited the bar and waited 30 minutes for someone to take my order, even though staff were just standing around. This lack of attentiveness is unacceptable, especially considering the prices charged.

My husband and i found a wonderful suite during a special time. We had a balcony. It looked over the shimmering Rutland Water. The kitchen had everything necessary. It allowed for quiet mornings. Views from our windows filled us with joy. I felt pure peace.
The walk to the restaurant required climbing some steps. This felt awkward.
