Two guests relax on loungers on a timber deck above a calm lake, with forested mountains beyond

A lakeside retreat

Slow days and clear views above the water

Forty rooms and suites on a wooded hillside, with a spa, two restaurants and a private jetty. Come for a weekend and leave feeling as if you have been away for a month.

A small resort with room to breathe: mountains behind, water in front, no hurry.

The hotel opened as a family guesthouse and has grown one careful wing at a time. Every room faces the lake, breakfast runs until eleven, and the staff remember how you take your coffee by the second morning.

Rooms and suites facing the water

A calm hotel bedroom with a wide bed in white linen and a floor-length window that looks straight out over a lake

Every stay includes

Whichever room you choose, the essentials are the same: quiet, comfort and a view worth getting up early for each morning.

  • Breakfast until eleven
  • Spa and pool access
  • Lake-view balcony
  • Evening turndown
  • Bikes and kayaks
  • Free parking

Rooms & suites

Forty rooms in three styles, all with balconies, deep baths and proper blackout blinds.

Restaurants

A lakeside grill and a quieter dining room, both cooking with produce from the valley.

Spa and pool

An indoor pool, sauna, steam room and six treatment rooms open to guests every day.

The still edge of an infinity pool merges with a wide view of a lake and mountains at golden hour, with two empty loungers at one side
A concierge at a timber desk points out a route on a walking map to two guests who lean over it with interest

Days here can be as full or as empty as you like

The concierge desk arranges guided walks, boat trips and tables in the village, or simply points you to the best sun lounger.

Out on the water

Kayaks, paddleboards and a skippered boat leave from our own jetty each day.

Up in the hills

Marked trails start at the garden gate, with packed lunches on request.

We arrived frazzled and left rested. The room was spotless, the view unreal, and nothing was too much trouble.

Stayed in May

Dinner on the terrace was the best meal of our trip, and the spa team fitted us in at short notice with a smile.

Stayed in July

Our third visit and it keeps getting better. The staff greeted the children by name before we had checked in.

Thoughtful hospitality for every guest, from first welcome to the journey home
