Disliked: Amenities
Not satisfying
Very unappetizing to wash cups and plates in a very old basin near the toilet.
The advertised BBQ wasn't there - out of order
The room was very clean and spacious. The staff were very welcoming on arrival and provided us with some milk. The parking was plentiful and we were able to park the car in view of them room. The air conditioning worked perfectly. The view from the room was stunning and the bed very comfortable.

Clean spacious room. Close to town, lovely staff, good parking, quiet.
Staff all good
The downside people smoking on the balcony on the second night couldn’t open our door to get fresher

Liked: Cleanliness
Beautiful view and a nice spot.
I just can't give any higher rating due to the bed being uncomfortable and the hallway light not being blocked out by the curtains.
Parking was easy and provided facilities like air conditioning and microwave was good.
Enjoyed my stay.

Friendly helpful staff, nice large room (in fact we had an extra twin bedroom that we didn’t use. Fantastic views and easily walkable to town and lake.
We checked in late and left early so check in and out were contactless. It was all very easy. Room was clean and quiet with a great view of the lake. We would definitely stay here again
Great lakeside location. Large clean room. Had everything everything we needed. Lift to upstairs level was useful - though 'clunky'. Seemingly reliable though.
