Service at the bar was quite slow, especially for the drinks we ordered. We did not mind the music playing at night, but the banging from the service area as well as the music playing again from 7am on a Saturday morning was not ideal. Location and view of the lake is stunning and bed was comfy.

The pool was lovely and relaxing. The only problem this place has is the parking. We had to park at the other end of the property. There was only one mobility parking space for a property of this size and it was not an easy place to park in.

Beautiful location and easy walk into the city although it's a reasonable distance away. The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in!! Amazing. Slightly dated room decor which didn't matter a bit, however the bathroom lighting was absolutely shocking and there were no other mirrors in the room to use where there was some natural light. If you're getting ready for an event like I was, not a great space for make up!
