great locationlocal restaurantshelpful hostsmall towelslimited toiletriesstreet noise
The location was great, and parking was available!!! Lovely restaurants existed in the local village, only a few minutes walk away. The local bus stop was at the end of the road. It covered many lake destinations for convenient travel. Evelyn, the host, ensured we knew the surrounding area and activities available each day.
The towels provided were small, and toiletries were not replaced . There were no alternatives to cornflakes and a fry-up for breakfast. This might not be a problem for others. I could hear some noise from the street in the morning.
