ample space walking trails great breakfast poorly lit dirty floor absent tv
i stayed in the lake house lake view suite. it featured ample space. the grounds were fine, with walking trails i explored daily. the breakfast was great (especially the pancakes!).
The path to the manor house was poorly lit at night. this made it difficult to navigate after dinner. there was no mat at the lake house entrance. This meant the wood floor got dirty quickly. the bar area had no tv.
