Perfect Place!
Beautifully appointed apartment in a good location to explore the area. We had a lovely stay and everything you could possibly need was where you would expect to find it!!
Wonderful flat with every amenity we needed. Sitting on the balcony over looking the lake for breakfast and dinner was lovely. We will definitely be back.

Excellent location, bit difficult to find where our apartment was. Poor signage.
Apartment was lovely, but felt it was a bit tired. Doors to decking from the bedroom were swollen at the bottom which made them difficult to shut. Drain smell in the shower. Info description stated there was a club house. Pub and restaurant, did not realise it was
Ballyhoo all in one.
