Unfortunately we had no WiFi until the last evening. Lakelovers and the owners did try to resolve this in a timely manner, but failed to hear the problem so there were 2 delays which resulted in a few additional days. We would return as it is such a great space, really comfortable, well supplied, very clean, and a lovely location.
