Well-equipped and very clean
Wonderful place, good location for lake with plenty of parking, a bit of a walk to the town centre but perfect with a car. Friendly staff who couldn’t do enough to make my stay comfortable. The cleanest place I’ve stayed in a while, and one of few who still offer daily service. Everything I needed was in the room. I’d recommend it and would love to go back.

We loved our stay at Sails on the Lake. The space was very comfortable and roomy. We loved having the living room area as we. As the patios off both our living room and bedroom. Everything clean and totally up to expected standards. I highly recommend.

Did not care for our room which was on the bottom floor next to the driveway. Not conducive to being outside on the small patio. Felt like we could get hit by a car at any moment.
