Very Helpful Staff & Awesome Breakfast

Pros: helpful staff Awesome Breakfast
We asked for an early checkin, and the staff were very helpful in arranging that on our arrival. We had a pram, as there is no lift in the building they allowed us to keep it in their reception office. The room was very clean and had a view of the lake, the under floor heating is a winner. We also accessed the swimming facility at the sister hotel which was also nice. The breakfast is really nice, with lots of hot food options from the kitchen and the buffet options are also good. The location is perfect for going for a stroll to the town centre or a dinner in one of the lake side restaurants.
