Polite staff on arrival. Comfy bed, room nice and clean. Was on the ground floor, perhaps a room on a level up may of been better, will do next time. Great location Right across the road from the lake which was lovely, and an easy walk into town.

Yes staff very courteous. I found the Lodge was old and could hear guests outside opposite room. The room had a perfumed fragrance on arrival soon went after opening windows. No Lake view. One night's stay served its purpose.
