Beautiful setting, gardens right down to the lake. Few minutes walk to where the boats go from, on the level. Stayed with elderly parents, did seemed more for the more mature, but that might have been because non school holiday.||Opened in 1890s and so magnificent staircase, old fashioned but working lift. Definitely felt like where somebody from a historical novel may stay on the"tour of Europe" with their elderly aunt. We found all staff very friendly and helpful. You could have afternoon drinks down by the lake, or in the lounge and breakfast / supper inside, or out on the stunning terrace||Buffet breakfast - fresh bread, cold meats / smoked salmon / boiled egg / tomato /mozarella, yoghurts, fresh fruit, juices, muesli, croissants and pastries, definite;y enough to fill you up for the morning. Evening meal was spectacular, so very tastey, good service, but also rather expensive, but I guess you expect that in such a hotel as it makes it more exclusive, ||Bedroom was clean and lovely shower - waterfall with almost a power shower hose that could be removed from the wall in addition. Walk in shower with handrails to hold onto. The bathroom was definitely 5 star and beautiful||My only criticism of the hotel was the lighting. At breakfast some of the food was poorly lit so difficult to see what it was (other parts well lit in the buffet are). When the sun came in the bedroom was beautiful and light, but in the evening, there were areas of the room that were very dark as the main lighting was sidelights by either side of the bed and a desk lamp. They had good directional bright lights for reading in bed. They had downlighters, but these had very dim bulbs in so barely made a difference. I felt that with LED lights now, these could easily be brighter and so provide the choice of romantic side lights or turning on brighter downlights when wanting a brighter light.||Great place to go if you want a peaceful break,
