Great Location
The Staff were very good, the bed was comfortable, and it had an amazing veiw of the lake and that makes up for the basic furniture. We were happy with oir 2 night stay. Great restaurant next door with a very cool vibe. We could see such potential for this hotel and you can see that the owners are slowly doing the place up. We were very happy with the car parking that was available both nights. Neat and tidy rooms, but the outside seating a little run down, but the veiws of the lake and magnificent sunset both nights made up for that. We would stay again. 😀
