The staff was very communicative and helpful, both over chat and intercom. We arrived late and left early, and they were very helpful making sure we could still check in and out. The room was very comfortable with a good shower, nice bed and kitchenette. We would have gladly stayed longer if time had allowed.

Location and size was perfect for my needs. Kitchenette was well stocked with pots/pans, etc to make self-catering a breeze. Fridge and freezer was a good size. Tea, coffee and sugar provided, which was a welcome extra. Bed was comfy & electric blanket was awesome.

Everything was lovely, nice tidy and clean, with comfortable bed and bedding, comfy chairs and a well equipped kitchen. This made self-catering a lot easier. We appreciated that the units were not connected to others, which made it a very quiet place to stay.

The room was clean and tidy with a patio area that was pleasant. The kitchenette was basic but had enough for basic self-catering, exactly as it appeared on the website. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Parking was available on site, but probably not enough for all guests. There was a carpark across the road but you needed to move the car by 10am. An excellent location with easy walking to shops and cafes, and the lake.
