The hotel is conveniently located right by the A2, there’s plenty of parking, quick and seamless check-in and great lake views. The staff is friendly, helpful and facilitated a complimentary late checkout. The room itself is a bit dated but clean and soundproof. Decent stay overall!

I stayed at Inn on the Lake and had a really good experience. The hotel is in a beautiful location next to the lake, which makes it very peaceful and relaxing. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. I really enjoyed the calm atmosphere and would definitely recommend it to other travellers looking for a quiet place to stay.

Excellent dog friendly hotel. The hotel is next to a busy road so highly recommend booking a lakeside room which are much quieter, large and have a good view. Whilst the hotel is quite tired, for the price we paid and service we received, it represents good value. Meals in the bar well priced too.
