Guest Reviews:

- "A beautiful location to stay at. " - "This is our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. Our motel unit was up on a hill behind the reception area and so we had a great unblocked view of the lake, and we were able to spot bunnies from the windows at the back. There were seats on the patio and comfortable sofas in the living room that you could sit on and enjoy the view. Bedrooms were warm and the beds were very comfortable. Bathroom had a blowing heater and plenty of hot water so it was really good during the winter. Location was very convenient; you could walk to the village center by the lake. Coin-operated laundry facilities were at the end of the motel block which was convenient. However, we suggest watching over your laundry as the washing/drying is ongoing as we think someone hijacked our dryer. The dryer was already opened and our clothes weren't fully dry when we came back to collect it (we set a timer ourselves and we came before the timer rang). "
