    stunning views
    spacious rooms
    noisy mornings

    The stay at The Moorings was enjoyable, thanks to the stunning views of the lake and mountains right from the balcony. The separate kitchenette allowed for easy meal preparations, making it family-friendly. Spacious rooms gave us plenty of comfort, especially with the outdoor deck that was perfect for relaxing. However, the bathroom could definitely use some updating. the shower over the bath felt outdated and lacked attention to cleanliness, with some mold in the grout. We also experienced noise from outside, which disturbed our sleep. One morning, a loud leaf blower started up too early for anyone wanting a peaceful start. The staff were friendly yet seemed overwhelmed when we had a small issue with check-out times. A little extra courtesy would have made a lovely stay even better.

    disabled allocation

    stunning lake views, neat kitchenette, great central location

    The bathroom felt neglected with a low sink and dampness, towels didn't dry as there was nowhere to hang them!!! The disabled bathroom allocation without notice is frustrating and disappointing!!!

    Couple getaway with a view

    The location is incredible, the lake view right from our balcony was simply stunning. Staff were also very helpful, agreed on a late checkout which saved us a bit of hassle after our plans changed.

    It wasn’t the cheapest option, but honestly it was pretty acceptable for what you get.

    bathroom attention
    noise concern

    The uninterrupted lake view from the spacious room created a serene backdrop for our stay, complemented by the warm sunlight that filled the space. The kitchenette was well-furnished, making it convenient for preparing meals, while the cozy atmosphere was enhanced by the fireplace. Unfortunately, access to some rooms involves stairs, which might be challenging for guests with mobility issues, and the bathroom could use more attention to detail. Overall, the welcoming host added a personal touch to our experience.
