Beautiful location

This is a beautiful hotel and setting, very clean and comfortable, there is a restaurant & bar attached to it but only opens from 5pm, there is no breakfast facilities however there is tea & coffee in the room. Nearby cafe that do excellent breakfast and food. The only downside is that we had an issue with no hot water or heating on the last evening & day so a very cold shower on the day of checking out. It was reported and I believe the maintenance man arrived as we were just leaving. All in all a very pleasant stay

The room needs a fridge for patrons to store food/drinks etc. The room needs more than one set of towels per person for a stay. There was no milk or coffee in our room, and one toilet roll was not enough

While this is contactless lodging, we had everything we needed and a spacious room for three. The restaurant downstairs was excellent and convenient. Beautiful area too.

A fridge in the room would be a welcome addition, and more comfortable pillows. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice place, well maintained, but no breakfast available unfortunately, and the nearest place only offers breakfast from 10am onwards. If you have an early start I suggest you make arrangements outside of the area.

Although I wouldn't call this a 'hotel' I did have a very nice stay here. There was no front desk help but check in was very easy as it was detailed nicely in the messages prior to arriving. The room was great and had a wonderful view out over the water. The restaurant was also great and very convenient.

View was amazing, although suggest adding a single door from room to allow to go out to the beautiful waters edge. Room was very very hot. No way to cool it down. If there was an external access door, this would have also addressed the over heating.

Rooms are clean and well maintained but I found it noisy with noise from other rooms. You can hear people using the toilet and shower very clearly in other rooms, as well as TV noise from other rooms. There were no parking spaces when we arrived because the restaurant was very busy, and we couldn’t get a table. We walked about 15mins into town and had something to eat in another bar.

There is no hotel staff to speak of, and the restaurant staff was mixed. But it is a fantastic property right on a beautiful lake.
