Room opposite the lake was beautiful. It was so quiet. It was exceptionally clean on the inside. Check-in was easy checkout was great. There was a sign on the wall that says that there was some work happening early in the morning but it wasn’t too bad but noted that this was not written anywhere other than on a sign in the wall or mentioned that check-in.

Lovely room with view to water. Only downside was work being done outside which limited access. They also advised work not before 9am but the started early. Came back to room in afternoon to find workers having their break in our outdoor area.

Excellent modernised accomodation

Perfect location within walking distance of great restaurants and cracking views. Clearly been modernised and looks great with the water on your doorstep. Only change I’d make could be to put a mirror in the upstairs bedroom but other than that it was perfect!
