A Relaxing Stay!

lovely selection lakeside view
The location was perfect! It sat right on the edge of the water. Breakfast had a lovely selection. I thought the conservatory was beautiful and I enjoyed the view. The spa looked immaculate! though the corridors had a strange smell.
The waiter doubted we had a reservation. And the service was a bit slow. Tables needed clearing.
