Property is excellent and the food was amazing. Wouldn't recommend to a family unless you are into water sports or don't mind driving to places as there is not much around but perfect if you are a couple that want to chill...

Lovely location and room.

Lovely location and room. Was just disappointed that my daughter couldn't get a half porttion of pasta. This was advertised on the children's menu as an option. She had to resort to chicken nuggets which she didn't really want 😕 Also whenever the people upstairs used the bathroom it sounded as if the water was running through the ceiling.

Beautiful!

Had a problem at first. Hotels.com never sent them the reservation and they never knew we were coming. Then we were charged £10 more than what hotels.com stated. But after that, this place is beautiful! Right on the lake and the views are beautiful! The breakfast was delicious! The staff were nice and friendly. Would recommend this place and in the nicer months, they rent jet skis, boats, etc.

We had to wait to get booked in as it was all locked up. Eventually a worker got us the key and the room was done to a high standard after we got settled we went across to eat as food was available between 5-30 and7pm the food was very nice but after we had eaten it seemed very clear that we were wanted out of the bar as she wanted to lock up so we were in bed for 8pm Next morning breakfast was served from 8.30 it’s a pity that we were not offered cereal or danish just a full breakfast for which we had to wait 25mins for not very good for my wife as she doesn’t eat a cooked breakfast
