Our stay at Cottage Mews

We have stayed at Cottage Mews before but quite a while ago. It is still a very nice place to stay but could do with some maintenance and updating.

Small motel with a path access to the lake. Nothing fancy and room was expectedly cozy but everything was clean and comfortable and the owners helpful and friendly. Good location just outside the town. Nice to walk along the lake and enjoy the scenery of the flowers and mountains. Good value for the money.
