This was such a beautiful and historic, but comfortable and modern, location. The staff were so friendly, the bed and pillows comfortable, and the views over the lake were just lovely. My only critique would be that I would appreciate if they had dairy alternatives for breakfast, such as oat milk for the coffee and cereal.
