I rang to confirm reception would be there until 8pm. They had locked up and left before 7.20pm. Key was left however no wifi details or welcome info. Staff didnt sound professional on the phone always in a hurry. Room wasn't clean (found a hair in the bathroom draw) and all furnishings were very old and worn, bedding had all the inner from the duvet coming out everywhere. Paint job had been done without finishing tape - lots of paint where it shouldnt be making it look messy. Lastly, i received a phone call the following night, i thought it would be to apologise (as i had commented at checkout) however staff were asking if i was going to be checking in - for some reason they thought i had booked another night.. to be fair, this would have been ok if i was looking for a hostel, does have the basics.

Great location on the lake. Room comfortable enough, but tap in handbasin broken, no soap in shower, and no teaspoons. No one at checkout early this morning to tell about these deficiencies.

value for money. Small room but comfortable. Staff helped us find a park, they were friendly and helpful. Despite being road front with a lake view it was quiet. The building is old and tired, but we were pleased to find it.

Where to start. to start with booking dates were wrong. No confirmation call to ask if we were arriving or not. Person that served was very rude and abrupt. My advise never stay here again.

What a grotty hotel! No lights on, in hallways, freezing cold only heating a dusty burning dirty heater. The fridge seal was broken & filled with dirt. The bathroom was so dirty the kids refused to shower, i only did so putting flannels down to stand on. Mold in the sealant, the fan chooked with dustbunnies, the floor dirty in bathroom & carpets not cleaned since laid. Not only marked & dusty with crumbs which were not ours. The single beds only had
