The hotel provided excellent rooms with views of the lake, worth the price paid, though a bit basic. The staff was warm, welcoming, and eager to help. The location was amazing, offering great views and activities, with slight room for improvement in little shop offerings. The dining experience was mostly superb, with occasional closures. The facilities were top-notch, particularly the spa experience.

Staying at the Huntsmans always makes me feel grateful to live in such a beautiful place. The rooms were spacious with great views, but could really benefit from a refit. The location was beautiful with fantastic facilities, but the additional cost for swimming pool access was disappointing. The dining experience was okay, but nothing special for the price paid for one night. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement in certain areas.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The room had a balcony with a stunning view of the lake and hills. The spacious room was equipped with everything we needed, including a hairdryer, iron, and ironing board. The location is beautiful with fantastic facilities and friendly staff, but the dining experience had a few letdowns.

The hotel's location is simply stunning, especially around the lake. There are plenty of opportunities for walks both on the grounds and nearby. The Huntsmans Lodge and Spa offer top-notch facilities.

While most of the dining experience was good, there were a couple of disappointing moments. Some items didn't meet expectations, like the fried egg and the breakfast selections. However, the fish and chips were delicious.
