Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at the Summer House, enjoying great views of the bridge. The room was spacious with a separate sitting area, but I wouldn't recommend booking the 'Straits' room.
Our stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were spacious and very well appointed, featuring a small kitchen and a balcony perfect for enjoying the views. The service was accommodating and very helpful. The location was fabulous, overlooking the lake and the bridge, offering a picturesque setting. The dining experience was remarkably generous and satisfying, with a wide variety of delicious options. Overall, a great choice for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
The hotel had a lovely view of the bridge and a fresh, woody smell in a peaceful setting. However, the service lacked professionalism and the dining options were not impressive. The rooms, although partly equipped, were spacious, clean, and comfortable.
