The lake view, and beds were comfy.

"Big let down"

5.0

They were good sized rooms and units. Also had a lovely view.

The pool ans spa area was unusable, lots of cobwebs everywhere. The spa pool in the little room was full of bugs. The room was disgusting filled with even more bugs. The bed spreads smelt as it they needed to be washed and when entering the rooms there were no windows opened which made the room smell.

Spacious 2 bedroom unit, lovely view of the lake. Kitchen facilities were good.

The tall standing Fan from out of the wardrobe wasn’t working, but we found a smaller one, sat it on a chair - so it helped, on a hot day/evening.

"Needs a major overhaul. It’s a real shame because there’s lots of potential."

5.0

The lakefront location is undeniably fantastic and it’s just a 10 minute drive to the city and the TV works.

It’s run down and poorly maintained. We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit which was spacious enough and it had been cleaned but the outside decking was loose and even broken in some areas. One of the outdoor chairs was broken and just thrown in to the bushes. The shower drain was blocked. The towels were old and smelt bad. The closet door in the bedrooms were off their railings and just left leaning inside the closet. The pool area is tired and run down. The pool needs a good clean. Cobwebs everywhere. Loose decking. Loose paving. Blackberry bush started to creep through the area. Overgrown with weeds.

It was good for my family

Booked a room for 6 people only had enough towels for 2 always had to get more from reception and when my kids went to get towels for swimming they were told off and told only grab 2 between 4 of them where it's states in the booklet to go and get them when needed The floors were like speed bumps and uneven Our bed almost fell off the bricks it was placed on Had no cooking essentials to cook our meals and to buy own pots
