Managers friendly and easy to deal with. We really enjoyed our stay. Has a car park too. Only downside was the roadworks which started early in morning and made walking into town longer and with hills - but this is temporary and not the properties fault. Should be completed in next few months. We would stay here again in future ##### Jessie R.

First thing in the morning it gets loud. Back room (2 beds) somewhat protected and folks can sleep better there. There is construction underway and in a few months access will be improved. Close to downtown, stunning view of the lake from the living room. Recommend if the noise isn't a big deal. If sensitive to noise look elsewhere. ##### Helene K.
