Amazing location and view. In desperate need of some TLC and repairs including a deep clean but bedding was lovely and clean. Overall good value but would pay bit more for clean and repaired.

We have stayed at Mere view many times in the past few years. The location is excellent combined with the lake view from the apartment, the kitchen is good and has everything you need. The rest of the apartment though would benefit from a little modernisation.
