The accommodation was spotlessly clean and everything you would need for a stay, apart from your own food, obviously, was provided. The only 2 negatives I would say are small to be honest and these were, 1/ the heating was set at too high a temperature and we had to open windows in the living room and kitchen to cool the place down as it was stifling at times, and 2/ the water temp dial on the shower just continually went round without doing anything so took it off and changed the temperature with the internal lug.

The accommodation was very clean on arrival. Fully equipped kitchen. Washing machine. A quiet location with off street parking. However close enough to walk to the lake & amenities. Garage storage for bikes etc. Beds very comfortable. There was nothing I did not like about the apartment. I would highly recommend it.
