I'll start off with the positives.
- Stunning view of the lake
- Welcoming staff.
- Clean
Negatives
- Dated rooms. The bathroom sink was cracked and held together with some form of yellow/brown epoxy. Kind of puts you off initially.
- Shower had poor pressure and the shower head bracket did not support it properly.
- The lighting in the bathroom is on the dim side.
- Breakfast took a while to get served, we even had to ask for an ETA. Once it was served it was underwhelming.
- Pillows are not comfortable.
Overall it served its' purpose for our stay
The staff were all lovely and very helpful.
The room was very clean and comfortable and a very good size.
We will definitely be staying again, and such a lovey veiw over the lakes.
