Pros:

The room was convenient to local facilities (cafes, petrol, walk around the lake) rooms were clean

Cons:

Specifically booked this for three people (bosses wife and two kids) and was only accommodating for two (towels, face clothes etc) for a "hotel" room you'd expect plates and cutlery let alone a microwave!
My bosses daughter has ADHD and won't eat from a takeaway/restaurant and the rooms phone wouldn't work let alone having no cutlery, plates/bowls, microwaves.
Could have put them in an B&B AND got better service.
Seriously disappointed.
