CHECK AVAILABILITY AND BOOK ONLINE HERE Discover the lakes was given a full and extensive tour of the hotel and was greatly impressed. Gone is the rather tired decor of years ago to be replaced by rather grand and luxurious fabrics and appointments. The rooms can't fail to impress particularly the ones with sweeping lake views and the spa facilities are quite literally second to none.The restaurant is lovely and there are many quiet corners in lounges and bars for weary travellers.
