Really lovely outlook from our room overlooking the lake. Our upper level room had a small balcony (other have huge outdoor areas) but all overlook the lake. Good size ensuite and a comfortable lounge where you can sit and watch tv. Restaurant was also really nice with a good selection to chose from. Highly recommend staying here
