The couple at reception were friendly and welcoming; we booked the garden view room but they upgraded us to the waterfront view room free of charge. The rooms were a bit outdated but were clean and comfortable. The property was close to other convenient amentities such as cafes and shops, and there was parking on-side. Would stay there again.

Average
The location next to the lake is fantastic with beautiful views and a little jetty out the back for a spot of fishing, but it's also next to the main road which makes it fairly noisy during rush hour. Service was very friendly and accommodating, but the room is very dated (originally from the 1970s probably) with a few random features modernised, most probably because they had to be. Bed was old and well worn and not that comfortable, but it was okay for one night.

The location is excellent. It is absolute waterfront and in easy walking distance of pubs, clubs, restaurants and shopping. There are some lovely walks you can do and the staff were very welcoming and excellent in their suggestions of places to go and see in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

Very noisy off the main highway bed was uncomfortable and I don’t believe the sheets had been changed . Old fan and air con need replacing but cleaning them would be a start .
