We booked a two night stay, wasn’t able to use the pools due to it being occupied every time we checked, rooms door doesn’t fully shut has gaps, bathroom cupboard is ripped at the bottom looks like it absorbed water. Lights are unstable and loose switches are dangerously inside the casing which is not right. Dead bugs in the lights. Shower didn’t have hot water twice! Toilet doesn’t flush all the time, you have to play with it, 1 blanket for two beds. Heater didn’t work we had to ask for a replacement which the receptionist was using herself and had to give it to us. Over all this wasn’t worth the money definitely won’t be coming back, the only good thing is the location. This place needs some work.

Beautiful location, mixed experience The resort is in a fantastic location - right across from the lake, with stunning views. The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. That said, a couple of things affected the overall stay. Unfortunately, I wasn’t informed that there was no hot water upon arrival, which was particularly unpleasant after arriving cold and wet from a long bike ride. It would’ve been helpful to receive a heads-up in advance. Additionally, the rooms are located directly beneath the social club, so noise can be an issue well into the night - something to keep in mind if you’d prefer peace and quiet.

We stayed in one of the newer renovated small rooms and it was very warm and well decorated. Downside was the bed was not comfortable and you could hear a lot of noise from people moving around upstairs and outside the room. The location was great, directly opposite the lake. We checked in after hours and the team were very friendly and helpful.

I had a very disappointing experience at this motel. The room was in poor condition—definitely not what I expected. There were no basic facilities provided, not even the essentials you'd normally find in a standard room. The overall stay was uncomfortable, and I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent night’s rest.

The social club restaurant also shares the same building. The rooms and facilities were out dated. We had a family room right at the end, unfortunately for the other guests our baby was unsettled and you could hear her crying quite far away. The restraint was good with god portion sizes. Heating in the rooms consisted of portable heaters which was good just be mindful where to set them up if you have young children. Apart from that the staff are friendly and the view from the restaurant of the lake is beautiful

The room was extremely nice and well appointed. The view from the front windows is amazing. The thing that put us off the most was the incredible amount of noise from the Social Club Restaurant directly above us. We found the bed to be quite hard. Once the noise stops(The restaurant closed at 9.00pm) we thought it was good value for money.
