Firstly, this has nothing to do with the staff or the food. They didn't have anything other than maybe two vegan options on the main menu and only had oat milk (which I can't have), but after we spent time in the outdoor hot tub - which was stunning - we went to the reception and asked if it was possible for there to be a dairy free accommodation for our afternoon tea (which we had prebooked) with two hours notice. The staff in response went and bought soya milk for me and also prepared a lactose free afternoon tea selection for me - this was above what I expected at such short notice. The food was brilliant and the hot up/pool area was lovely. However, we couldn't help but feel disappointed with our stay. The room was dated and felt unloved by the staff. Too big with too little in, there was a few feet spare in the room which left it feeling empty and made it hard to relax. No hand soap given and after a 'refresh' we had no new towels supplied (just old ones taken) and no bag in the bin. It was little things looking back but it's the small details what make a trip and this sadly broke it. In addition to this, when booking we added a comment saying it was for mine and my partners anniversary but there was no sign of care or acknowledgement of this. For a hotel which prides itself on weddings and celebrating romance, we couldn't help but feel disappointed. Lastly from what we were expecting when we booked and to arriving and what we received we felt a little deceived. We expected to be staying in the beautiful building on the lake however were staying and eating on the mainland. There were no photos on the website when booking of the mainland building however on trip advisor there are. This building was a little younger but a lot more modern and almost trying to match different aesthetics that didn't go or even match and flow into the rooms. This is a case of the experiences, the food and the staff were amazing and so incredibly accommodating - even giving a refund of our second night stay which we checked out before instead of staying in that room again - but just the lack of detail in the room spoiled it.
