Excellent accommodation with wonderful service
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our all-too-brief 2-night stay at the Lakeside Hotel and Conference Centre.
Our room was modern, clean, tastefully furnished and comfortable.
The breakfast menu is comprehensive, and we enjoyed excellent service and delicious food.
A special and sincere thank you to May at reception. May is a friendly, courteous, efficient, helpful and very charming young lady with a beautiful smile. Nothing is too much trouble for May, and she ensures her guests are well looked after. May made our stay at the Lakeside Hotel memorable.
