Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Furniture in the room was very badly positioned. TV was placed in front of only mirror in room. To add to that the TV was put on the cabinet that housed the fridge and crockery . The kettle was put in this crowded space which made it dangerous to make a cup of tea with water from the kettle. The bathroom was so small that you could hardly move around

The hotel does not have good lake view rooms, although the website advertises them. The lake view on the website is not from the hotel site, so the image is misleading.

The hotel overlooks the lake so access to the lake is great but the hotel rooms do not face the lake so views are limited. Not a big deal. The rooms are big and beds very comfortable. We only had a heater which we should have turned off as the room was hot at night. Staff very friendly. Room very clean. I would stay there again.
