We had a back unit which was very clean, quiet with comfortable bed. Enjoyed soaking in the bath after a long day and beach across the road so a couple of minutes walk. Parking was limited and we had to park in the street. No AC was an unpleasant surprise as room hot in afternoon when we arrived (and something I will check in future) so we opted to leave the window open, fan on and stuff in car while we went out.

Room was okay. Clean enough, but quite dated. Was very stuffy when we first arrived in room. Expected a little more dinnerware for a Superior Studio. Staff very friendly. Onsite restaurant was good. Parking is very limited.

The rooms are dated and need refreshing , the spa was not in proper working order and when it was on it was freezing cold ( only reason we booked it was for the spa) and its lake location . It would have been a great place in its early days . Would I return no.

Booked s budget double, wax told on arrival that he as bunk beds. Sorted that out, given a queen double room, only to find it hadn’t been cleaned after the previous occupants two days earlier. Second new room was ok though, but s frustrating start.
