Just very old and not updated, curtains were ripped and the whole upstairs needed updating. Next door rooms taps made a lot of noise . Very musty and very hot upstairs when we arrived, which affected my breathing, sinuses and gave me a headache. Not to mention the overuse of a perfumed spray made it worse.

Lovely apartment with a Lakeview. Some of the decor a little tired but very clean and comfortable with a lovely lounge and kitchen area. Loved being able to hire kayaks on our checkout day and walk a minute to tne water. Helpful staff in facilitating this. Loved that the sailing club is a two minute walk for drinks and coffee. 4 minute drive to town. Great place to stay

Room could do with a fresh cost of paint and reception stank of cigarettes which was extremely off putting. But the bed was nice and it was quiet.
