WE enjoyed the tranquillity of the location. We enjoyed walking around the lake and sitting drinking coffee looking out over the lake. The decor is a bit dated but very clean and tidy.

I was working locally so stayed in this hotel. It was really clean and the staff was lovely. I had a room looking out to the lakes so great views. I ate at the hotel one of the nights and the food was OK.

The setting is lovely, and the range of services available are very adequate for a short stay. The menu, whilst limited, was fine and the food was prepared very quickly. Rooms were spacious and clean, although the whole place is now a bit dated and retro😀

The property is very tired and needs updating. The bedding and bathroom facilities were poor, main light didn’t work, the bath panel was hanging off. The bedding was threadbare and stained. The staff were pleasant and the setting was very nice.

Our stay at The Inn on the Lake was fine, everywhere seemed clean, the breakfast was nice, and the service was good. In terms of letting them know what they could do better, I’d say stop using Expedia to take bookings. We booked through Expedia paying extra for a lake view room, but on arrival were told that Expedia hadn’t passed that request on, so we only got a car park / motorway view room. We paid £88 for our room, whereas friends who stayed at the same time booked direct to Inn on the Lake and paid £62, so we paid £26 more for a similar room because we made the mistake of using Expedia instead of booking direct!

This was a cute very old hotel. The view from the lake view room was gorgeous, breakfast was sit down with a small continental buffet and a choice to order hot food. We didn’t have a car so needed to Uber to town and restaurants. Could hear neighbours beside and across the hall. I’m sure they hear us too. Had to ask for towels the second night and still crisps I dropped on carpet near bed. The next day there water works been done and water shut off. If the price is right, it’s a quiet and beautiful view getaway. May stay again if driving through.
