A lovely find down a quite private road. Great food excellent selection too, all freshly cooked to order. Breakfast was also excellent more than we could eat sadly. The accommodation was a bonus bed excellent and the air conditioning on a hot day was wonderful. The staff were welcoming and helpful. It was fun watching the antics of the ducks and geese outside.
Somewhere to return too again
What a lovely place. The staff were so kind and helpful during our stay, but especially when catering for allergies. The food at breakfast was really delicious and fresh. We didn’t eat evening meals or lunch but the menu was large. The boathouse is a very pretty location and the room was comfy with everything we needed. There were toiletries and tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room. There are geese and ducks outside. Would recommend!
Lovely peaceful family 1 night stay. Clean and comfortable.

My 5th or 6th stay here as I use it for work trips. It is always nice. The food is good, the location is good and the rooms are nice. What else could you want.
we had a late dinner which did the job. unfortunately our room faced the car park so we didn't get the lake view but we did have a very friendly duck tapping on the window in the morning. we could walk to the front and see some of the lake but there was a wedding fair on so access was somewhat restricted. overall a pleasant room and quiet stay.
Great couple of nights away, very scenic, and short drives to nearby attractions. Resturant & staff are friendly and helpful. I would recommend to others.
What a wonderful place to stay, the location is perfect if you are looking for a peaceful stay over looking a large lake. Our room was great, comfy bed and had its own sitting room so plenty of space to relax. The staff were so friendly and I really felt nothing would have been too much to if we asked. We didn't book a table for the evening but they made sure one was free for us.
We are already planning on going back.
