We stayed here (4 adults) for a night and had a quad room. Quite happy to have multiple options for dining just around the corner. This property does not have it's own parking but can park on any of the surrounding streets (free parking). Walkable distance to the lake and a supermarket right beside the property. Overall was a lovely stay. Will highly recommend.

Ashlee

Overall good stay. Appreciated a plug in and additional cord charging port. The chill space being separate from the TV space was appreciated. The kitchen was strange. You had to ascend the ground floor to first floor steps, walk partway across the property, and then go down another set of stairs. A lot of space to cook in the kitchen, as well as dine and relax. Wifi however was mediocre at best so if you’re needing to use it, I would look elsewhere.
