Absolutely a beautiful property, unfortunately the person on reception was trying to be as unhelpful as she could possibly be. We wanted to purchase some milk: she told use to go to the BP across the road, which we had already been to and they were out of stock which was why we went back to reception, but she wouldn’t allow us to purchase anything at any cost It was just disappointing

Nice property, just needed vacuuming properly and bathroom showers cleaned better. Bed was uncomfortable and was 2 beds joined together which a few places do also but not good. Pillowed we’re too firm / high so I ended up using a cushion instead. Otherwise nice place and really good value if more than a couple stay as had 3 bedrooms. Otherwise good.

Wonderful place to stay for a little while or an extended period. Our apartment was an upstairs lake front location and the views of the lake were incredible! The layout of our apartment was excellent with enough space in each room for storage. The bathrooms were well designed and roomy with skylight for natural light to stream through. The kitchen area had every amenity. The property is well maintained and secure. Lorraine, the manager was welcoming, friendly and very efficient. Thank you, Lorraine! Highly recommend.
