The staff were friendly and the property was clean and tidy. It was quiet despite being on the main road, and very walkable to food and drink options.

Beautiful view

We had a beautiful unit with lake views, the bathroom and kitchen area were great. The bed was very comfortable, but the sofa bed was terrible. Not at all comfortable to sit on and dreadful to sleep on. That was the only negative of this place and could be easily remedied by a new sofa.
