lakeside haven
comfortable beds buffet selection friendly staff
the room, a classic double or twin room, were immaculate. it features comfortable beds and clean linens, so i sleep well. breakfast was included and offered a buffet selection to satisfy various appetites. the staff, helpful and friendly, kept tables clear.
I had to pay for car parking in the car park. I found this surprising since i was a guest. it would improve my experience if parking was complimentary.

polite staff excellent breakfast ample parking
The staff were great, they were always polite and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, the choice was varied. There was plenty of parking AVAILABLE!!! The room was warm, clean, and cute.
The only addition i would have liked is more choice of cask beer. There were only 2 available on our visit. I would have enjoyed sampling more local ales .
