We have just spent five wonderful nights at the Lake House hotel, we stayed in room 1 and we really appreciated not having to walk up the stairs each night. The room is next to the breakfast room and reception but it isn't to noisy at all, you would occasionally hear people talking but it wasn't bothersome. We had the... More

It was a pleasure to stay in this large, light, elegant house overlooking the bay. With big windows, beautiful furnishings and tasteful, immaculate decor, you wonder why it's not more expensive. The grounds have a pretty garden out front with mature trees and a stream trickling through. I stayed in room one which is quite spacious with a massive comfy... More

Excellent Wateredge Inn (across the road) for meals with our dog was in a superb spot right on the lake with wide choice of beers and food served in a very friendly manner. You could eat inside...

We decided on a last minute trip to the Lakes and found Lake House after trying one or two other hotels which were full (it was Easter weekend so that's understandable). Lake House has rooms especially for dogs and their owners and they are separate form the main hotel. Very, very clean and nicely furnished and the shower had TWO... More

Only stayed 2 nights but would have definately stayed longer were it not for work commitments. Very nice and comfortable place to stay with pleasant staff, and excellent Breakfast. We stayed in the hideaway rooms which are spacious and well equipped. Will hopefully return later in the year for a longer stay.
