10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful spot that met and exceeded all expectations. Lake, second last day of patio season(ends September 2nd) and finally a break in rain made the evening short and sweet. Played radio bingo even too! Room: Rooms had modern decor but the actual showers etc are starting to show their age. Not a deal breaker. Rooms were also quite damp/humid(we were in a suite which was a part of a back split building) Having full cable(not that we watched) was fine but it seems more and more common to have a smart tv that you could sign into... not needed but seeming to become a more common thing found. All in all... a gem!"

"A lovely quiet place. Nothing fancy but clean and accommodating. Do be aware that it won’t suit anyone with mobility issues who wants access to swimming at the property. There are lots of stairs down to the water. A great place for families and children with tons of extras for the kids. You’ll fall asleep to the sound of the river . . . Just heavenly if you’re escaping the city. And the swimming was great!"
