Loved it was right across from lake an close to town
Had everything we needed in our room and the owner was great
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
The owner/manager is the most welcoming that I have ever met. Nothing was too much effort or trouble. A first class human

The cleanliness, location, staff and the price
Nothing to complain about
6 / 10Average·May 2026
Great location right on the waterfront, although our room didn’t have a lake view as it was facing the wrong way. There was quite a strong damp smell when we first entered, and the carpets were very stained and dated. The spa was great though and exactly what we needed. The heated bedding was also a nice touch. Overall, the place has potential, but it could really do with a serious refresh and redecoration. Because of that I wouldn't say the price matched the room
