Good for a quick stop over. Clean, spacious room with a great menu for breakfast & dinner. Nice lake walk loop accessible on foot from the property. Super service from all the staff. Very welcoming. My only critique would be that the bath towels were thin and not very soft.

Where do we begin? Our personal experience of this hotel was nothing short of perfection. The location with the lake situated behind it was gorgeous (even in the rain). The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The bed was probably the comfiest bed we have ever slept on and the breakfast... The Riccotta Pancakes and the Croissant French Toast were the best breakfasts we have ever had. We'll both miss those greatly. The location is also great if you are wishing to visit Hobbiton as it's only (roughly) a 30 minute drive. It's a good hub point. The town is roughly a 10/15minute walk where you can find some great restaurants (Such as Alpinos!) We cannot wait to comeback.

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We needed somewhere easy to stay after our Hobbiton tour and this ended up being an amazing spot. Our room had a lovely balcony with a tree view. The hotel feels brand new and is very well managed. I wish I had gotten her name, but the manager was so helpful and when she heard we were heading north took the time to show us how to pre-pay the toll (which we didn’t even know existed) online. The included breakfast was also great. We would book here again just for the hotel/staff experience.
