Very nice boutique hotel with boho vibes.
Pros:

Breakfast was good, although scrambled eggs on 1st day very overdone

The room was very clean, it was extremely hot weather so room was not comfortable to sleep, they did put a fan in the room. I realise alot of older property's in The Lakes do not have air con
Location was fabulous, 5 mins from town centre so quiet at night.

Cons:

No air con
No shelf in shower to put your shampoo and shower gel
