Within walking distance to the main town, plenty of eating places close by. We had a nice veiw of the lake. The bed was very comfortable, the shower had good pressure, but the seating options in the lounge was really uncomfortable. There is a bit of noise that comes from the adjoining rooms but you get used to it. All in all I would stay here again.
