Very pleasant hotel, we had a very nice room on 1st floor. And directly to the fine promenade at the lake, with short walk to the lovely 2 mile bay sailing club pizza restaurant and bar:-)

Superb
A very spacious room with everything we needed. You can walk a minute to the lakeside with stunning views. Very good facilities with a heated pool just outside the door. The welcoming email gave a lot of useful information on the area. I would stay here again and highly recommend.
