مكان جميل وهادئ
Pros:

المبنى نظيف ومرتب ، قريب جدا من الخدمات والميناء ، دقائق مشي فقط . والموظفوين متعاونين جدا وخدوموين .

Cons:

المبنى ليس فندق وفق التصور المعروف ، فهو مبنى متفرق ، حيث ان مبنى الاستقبال منفصل عن الغرف ، وقد لا تكون هذه سلبية لدى البعض الذين يفضلون ذلك

Pros:

The location is great -- it's an easy walk into town and the lake, and there's plenty of hiking all around. They had a nice breakfast menu and lots of fresh fruit. We were there during an unseasonably warm time and needed to keep our 1st story windows open at night (which, with a fan, cooled things down nicely), and it was still a super quiet location. The young lady working at the front desk in the evenings was very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful property, lovely room, great location.
Pros:

We visited on a very hot day and were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite which was beautifully cool inside, it was a good comfortable, large space in the shade.

Cons:

Our room was in need of a deep clean.
It was clean but needed more attention to detail, cobwebs, dust behind furniture etc. The cost of drinks at the bar seemed a little excessive. £23 for two vodkas and coke in a lipstick marked glass stung a bit.
