I spent a lovely day at the hotel's spa, indulging in treatments that left me feeling completely relaxed. The ambiance was perfect for unwinding, though I did find the pool a bit crowded later in the day. The food we had during our spa package was great and definitely good value. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxing escape in the southern Lakes, but consider swimming earlier in the day to avoid the crowds.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The room I stayed in was in dire need of a deep clean, with stains and dust all around. The location is beautiful, but the service and cleanliness were major letdowns. I hope they improve, as this place has the potential to shine.
