The staff were exceptional! The food was good, a little different but good. They used the local foods on the menu for classic English cuisine. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely go back.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was borderline decrepit, with thin walls/old carpet in rooms &unsafe large single pane window in the bar. Grounds looked kind of grubby immediately surrounding the hotel. The lake of course was beautiful. The staff were very good, and the beds comfy, but the hotel overall compares poorly to other historic icons like the Banff Springs

Beautiful hotel in a scenic setting. The rooms are more traditional style and not as spacious and outfitted, but very charming place to stay with beautiful lobby, grounds, and lovely restaurant.
