Pros:

Das Essen im dazugehörigen Restaurant/Pub war lecker und preislich fair.

Cons:

Die Zimmer waren sehr dreckig! Auf dem Boden lagen überall Haare und Haarbüschel, vor allem im Bad, die Handtücher hatten Flecken und die Bettbezüge waren sowohl für die Kissen, als auch Bettdecken, als auch für die Matratzen zu kurz, sodass das Bettzeug zum Teil unbezogen war. Im ganzen Hotel und im Zimmer waren in den Ecken kleine, dicke Spinnen und die Böden waren auch im übrigen Hotel definitiv nicht als sauber zu bezeichnen. Das schlechteste Hotel unserer Reise.

Pros:

The room was gorgeous and spacious, a great setup for families. The watersports facility next door was unexpected and great. We spent an hour or so paddle boarding on the lake. Fabulous.

Cons:

There was no comfy lounge area, the food wasn't great, and the staff person in charge seemed over stressed and was quite unfriendly initially.
