Great spot, exceptional beauty. Hotel cosy and very clean.
Only thing is, parking should be in room price for people staying.
Food options limited and pricy but expected for such a beautiful spot.

I booked for river view but gave me a room where was with forest view. Not found any toothpaste and bathroom but was clean and hygiene. Very quite nice staff. Dinner was a bit expensive and quality was average.

Beautiful scenery but I'm still waiting for the refund you agreed. I stayed 2 nights but a third was taken from my account and I was told it would take 4 to 5 days to refund.
It's now10 days and no sign.

Location was excellent. Beautiful scenery and very quiet. Staff are pleasant and very helpful.
However, we were very disappointed with the accommodation. We noticed after arrival that the property website stresses that it is not a 4 star hotel but a lodge. I assume this is because other guests have been similarly disappointed by the supposedly 4 star accommodation. This accommodation is not 4 star by any standard! The property is very dated and in need of refurbishment.
Food also was not great and quite pricey.

"Doggie do's and don'ts"
On the whole it was a good stay; there were only two issues we faced: 1) We had to pay £20 for our dog, which we were not told about until we arrived! 2) We thought the on-line information said we could take the dog into the dinning room/restaurant - but we found this was not permitted, hence we did not have an evening meal or a breakfast, because we would not leave our small dog alone in the room.

Disappointing Room and expensive
The only good thing about this hotel was the location. It is rated 8/10 but I wouldn't give it any more than 4. The price was far too high for the standard of room, which basically had a sink in the bed room and a toilet and shower in a cupboard the opposite end of the room. The price of the food was too expensive. Not even free parking. Very disappointing.
