Property was very charming, lovely rooms with a fireplace. Excellent food in restaurant 24hr hospitality room with coffee and tea. Close to airport( 10min drive ). No snacks or vending machines there was a strong smell of septic when opening the patio doors, so we never got to enjoy the view of the lake from patio.

The lake side access and gazebo were the highlights for us at this hotel. We grabbed our drinks and enjoyed watching the sunset over the lake. Hotel was clean and room was spacious. I was concerned the bed would be too soft as it was a pillow top style but provided enough support to have a good sleep. It had a cute English style pub in it and a very nice outdoor pool. Note: this hotel does not have an elevator so people with mobility difficulties be sure to get ground level. The staff were also very pleasant.
