Lovely place to stay, close to the town centre. The one bed unit we had was very good indeed - smaller bedroom in the front, walk through to a bathroom and kitchenette, then a large bedroom with dining table and chairs, armchairs, and a balcony. Everything spotlessly clean. Staff at reception very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Not Luxury?

Our room was advertised as a 2 bedroom luxury suite, but I felt that the word LUXURY should not have been used. The rooms were clean, we had no complaints about the comfortable beds and lovely bedding,, but the decor was tired. There were no toiletries in the bathroom, which when you are travelling are useful. They need to include instructions in the room on how to use the microwave, tv, music system and air conditioning unit. I felt the cost of room was too expensive for what you got.

Property was lovely and clean and quiet. Close enough to the lake and town center. to walk. Our apartment didn't have a view of the lake which was a bit disappointed, but otherwise a great stay

The motel felt tired, hot tub wasn't clean and nor was the BBQ. Guest laundry not working. Pretty basic all round in my opinion. Cheap, but not very cheerful.
