I think I have said...

Liked: The beds were very comfortable and tv was v good The staff were very helpful. The location by the lake and the cafe were both excellent.
Disliked: I probably misread the booking info. I expected a sink and spa bath. My friend was happier than I was. I probably got a cheap unit for a lower price

A bit to warm

Liked: Great location. We booked a basic room knowing we would not be spending much time in our room due to a busy weekend. Beds were comfy and room had all we needed. It was however rather stuffy and a somewhat uncomfortable temperature with only one tiny opening window in the bathroom, a small room that got the afternoon sun and an air conditioning unit that didn't work all that well. Glad we weren't here in summer!
