Friendly staff member at the reception, Great location opposite the lake and we stayed in a studio unit. Clean and tidy with everything you need and parking on site. The only problem was the bed needs replacing, firm and lumpy and very uncomfortable.

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.

Great lakeside location. Large clean room. Had everything everything we needed. Lift to upstairs level was useful - though 'clunky'. Seemingly reliable though.
