Very basic but clean, dated property and rooms. Need a good sitting chair in the room. Breakfast was 2 options and very minimal servings. Location to the lake is good. For the price we expected a nicer property.

Unreal location, literally on the doorstep of the dark sky project building. Breakfast included at cafe literally next door. Everything you needed in the room. Balcony was nice to have too, as could try spot some of the stars at night. Person on reception was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again.

It had a kitchen and was close to everything. The space was excellent and staff were friendly. We enjoyed the free breakfast at Doughboys bakery. There was lots of variety. We picked noodles and was very filling & delicious. My only recommendation is to repaint the outdoors as it is a bit outdated and redecorate the rooms to make it more inviting. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
