This hotel is absolutely first class. I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a room with a beautiful view of the grounds and lake, and a chilled bottle of wine and snacks waiting on the table. The staff are so kind and respectful. The hour at the spa was quiet and relaxing, perfect after a long day of traveling.

My wife and I are absolutely in love with this place and the wonderful staff. We are planning to visit again. There was a big festival when we were in town and lots most everything was closed so we stayed in one day and it was the best! Food, spa, and relaxation. This place reminded us how silly it is to pick an Airbnb over a full service hotel. Nothing beats around the clock care and service. Big thank you to everyone at the hotel.

Wonderful hotel. Amazing views! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Thank you to Reception for organising balloons and a delicious cake for my daughter’s birthday. Will definitely be going back. I would say that service in the hip bar on the terrace could be slow sometimes. Staff don’t often make eye contact and concentrate more on refreshing tables even when not busy. This was frustrating. Unfortunately, there is a beach bar (Le pop) very close to the hotel which had very loud booming music which wasn't in keeping with the area. I think it was a special event. We had to keep our balcony doors closed on a beautiful sunny day. Other days were not too bad. We will check their website before we book next time. Overall a great stay.
