"What a fabulous week me and my family have had. The lakeside accommodation was perfect for us. The lodge was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The staff were friendly throughout our stay and I really liked the opt in messaging option where they messaged to keep you informed of anything happening. The facilities on site were really good and we used them daily. Swimming baths, gym, sauna, steam room. The food in the restaurant was really nice and the atmosphere was nice. The watersports were a lot of fun. We did the flying disc and the paddleboarding."
