Great value for money, and I’d definitely …

You can see the lake from the rooms, the staff is super friendly making yyou feel as if you were family. Everything is spotless and decorated with taste. There is a kitchen area where you can prepare your own food, great place.

The shared kitchen was excellent and allowed us to …
