Pros:

Very happy with the room and proximity to the lake was great. The kitchen was perfect for our needs. Great sized apartment. Very clean.

Cons:

The bunk beds were very squeaky. It's a little far to walk from the centre of town, but very easy drive and good for people that want to be a little bit away from the busiest areas.

Pleasant.
Pros:

Great restaurant upstairs! Clean, great location right on the lake. Spa just up the road in walking distance. We would consider staying again if the WiFi is fixed.

Cons:

The only negative for our stay was the terrible WiFi. Everything else was great, however, on holiday it is nice to lay back and scroll or watch something online. This was not possible.

Pros:

Location and an onsite bar/restaurant.

Cons:

Our room fold out couch wasn't in working order, we folded it out to use and the legs were not stable. The single bed closer to the door wasn't very comfortable, felt like the base was broken so when laying in it, it sunk in the centre.
