    The hotel was situated in the very central location in a gorgeous area with great views. I checked out Bowness Bay, that was set approx 10-15 minutes' walk from the property. I could see the lake from the window of the deluxe queen room. Got exceptionally comfortable bed and a lounge area and comfy armchairs.

    As for me, the area was very expensive.
