surprisingly good stay
polite staff clean bedroom great base
The hotel staff were very polite and helpful. I found this nice. the bedroom was super clean and cozy. the location was relaxing and a great base to adventure from to the villages of the lakes. It was ideal. i feel it would suit many who wanted a base to go walking or use the water sports.
the bar was closed during lunch, inconvenient. it made it harder to grab a quick bite before exploring.
