Our room (325, King bed with lake view) was clean, spacious and comfortable. Hotel location is excellent, a couple minutes walk to the ferries, good restaurants, shops and even the Victoria Wood theater (fun show!). The staff was courteous and unobtrusive. The breakfast was plentiful - and “unhurried” to get a table and to get the cooked food. We hope to stay again someday.

Whilst the hotel bills itself as 4* in our view it's living on past glories. Our Delux room had only a velux roof window which could only be opened by standing on a chair so you had a better view of the sky only. At breakfast the only coffee choice was a cafetiere so espresso or latte luxury was not an option. The should rename it a Velux room, definitely not a Delux room

Lovely hotel close to the lake and very convenient for the shops, theatre and main attractions. Staff at Reception and at breakfast were all really pleasant and helpful. Arriving in a car is a bit of a nightmare: the entrance is in a very tight and busy street, so finding somwhere to wait while paying for the hotel car park and getting directions was difficult. If we could have paid for the parking in advance and driven straight to the car park, that would have been much easier. Breakfast was cooked to order, but really nothing special: one piece of bacon and one (very ordinary) sausage in the Full English breakfast, but a nice spread in the buffet selections. For such an expensive hotel, charging extra for the avocado and other 'special' breakfasts seemed to be taking a liberty.

Breakfast menu had sufficient choice and everything you would expect. However the breakfast buffet selection was limited but not poor. Probably lacked more options like more fruit, cooked meats, croissants, etc.

Breakfast only starts at 07:30 and is cooked to order so if you are hoping for an early start this can be a problem. Also if it is a busy time then this can really mean a delay from the time you order to actually getting the breakfast: 45 mins on one day The pool is lovely but can be rented out to local swimmers so your access can be restricted. Gym is pretty good. Views are amazing from the lounger and from some rooms. Parking is not onsite and is a surprising 25 pounds per night: there are cheaper, closer car parks especially if the electric chargers in the hotel car park are unavailable
