Cosy but dated. Genuinely lakeside, whiich is the best thing about it. Wouldn’t stay again. Just not my vibe.
Pros:

Right beside the lake. Short drive to town.

Cons:

Small rooms. Noisy. Weird gym (in a kirchen alcove, no privacy from pool.) Out of order sauna. Breakfast was good but basic. Pricey for the quality of the facilities.

What a view
Pros:

On arrival, we asked if it was possible to upgrade to Lakeview room. They happily helped us with this request.
Fantastic view of the lake...beautiful, huge king bed too. Great buffet breakfast and a lovely guy playing his music at night.

Cons:

Was a shame the shower was too small for the water pressure, had issues trying to stop the water from going everywhere. Apart from this, everything was good.

Overpriced
Pros:

The location was great and the view was beautiful

Cons:

Out room card didn't work on the second day and I had to keep getting reception to let me into our room. This was highly disappointing and it wasn't until another staff member said I needed new cards, and no one else had told us this.
The fridge was farrrr too noisy!!!

Pros:

On the lake

Cons:

Staff at the bar was rude to my husband, when he ordered a drink for us both. Yet bent over backwards helping two women guests - that stated they were not staying there
