We loved our family room with a view of the lake and mountain. Enjoyed the hot pools even though some parts are being renovated. We can't wait to see it when its all finished! Will definitely be coming back again for a winter getaway weekend next year, as we have been doing the past 10 years. Love it

After a not so great start the Manager made a real effort to put it right which i acknowlesge and appreciated. Overall the Villa has not been maintained to a high standard especially cleanliness (e.g. cobwebs visable everywhere and some fixtures dated and worn) .. some staff were great, frindly and helpful, but others seemed uninterested in their job. The old saying of first impressions rings true here - we were so looking forward to this but unfortunatly overall can only givr an average rating.

Facilities lacking. eg iron provided but no ironing board. No power point in the bathroom for hair dryer and shaver. Small cups and mugs. Wine glasses were odd sized. Cord to water boiling jug too short meaning base was suspended above bench top, this was dangerous. The unit we were in hadn't been renovated, still single glazing which meant heavy condensation on windows in the morning.

It was a lovely spacious room despite being a cabin style accommodation. We loved that it was quiet, that most things in the cabin were well maintained and that they switched the heatpump on prior to our arrival which made it warm and toasty. We didn't like that the blinds were dirty, these needs a good clean.
