    The location is fantastic. Staff is really great - Cecelia was a pleasure to deal with. Check-in was smooth. As I was travelling with elderly parents, she kindly helped me drag a couple of bags from the car park to the room on checking in and when checking out. Breakfast options were great and were kindly delivered to the room. Highly recommend this stay. The view of the lake from the room in the morning was priceless!
