Our second time staying here; it’s easy, super clean gas everything we need and very affordable. The lake across the road is a lovely walk. A bit out of town but we were self catering (and this was easy to do)

Room had a serious ventilation issue, the floor was constantly damp. The room itself served its purpose, beds a little soft however that's personal preference. Now, the exit driveway is way too steep, yes I have a low vehicle however it's not that low! We had to reverse back up it and use the check in entrance to leave as my bumper was scraping on the road!

Room was clean - waterpipes terribly noisy when neighbours were taking a shower. Basin in bathroom very small - struggled to fill kettle and waterbottles Location 100% - walked around lake and was quiet at night after everybody had a shower. Good value for budget accomodation

8/10 Very good

Was pleasantly surprise how clean and fresh the rooms look. There was ample size in my room to move around and be comfortable and the bathroom was quite large. We had a trailer with us so it was nice we could park out on the road but park in a spot that I could see it from our room.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Nice quiet area, easy to access. Great communication. Shower curtain not long enough - water flooded bathroom floor every time shower was used. Great that the room was serviced while we were there but bathroom and shower floor were both slippery after cleaning - not great for someone who is recovering from an ACL injury
Verified review

6/10 Good

Layout of the room was good. Bed comfortable. Whatever they used to clean the floors, left a sticky dark residue. This meant we needed to wear shoes or socks to avoid our feet sticking and getting discoloured . The shower floor was very slippery. Check in staff not on site when I arrived, so had to call for them to come and let me in. Nice location but not sure if I’d stay again.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

This was the most confusing place to turn up to as there really isn’t a reception and staff gave me a phone to speak to an english speaking person. From the look outside i was glad i booked the deluxe spa suite. Renovated bathroom not quite done right but served its purpose. Takes about 10 minutes to open the front door as someone hasn’t put the door in correctly. Bonus’s were comfy bed, usb ports near bed and smart TV. We liked our stay but very unusual things about the whole place.

Great service and customer oriented care. Needed early check in granted. Needed late check out granted. Looked old but facility was almost perfect.. Minor issue need sound proofing..next door neighbours ordered late pizza and we're very busy till early hours and I was a light sleeper.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We are impressed with the freshness and apparent upgrade of the unit. It is obvious the managers took pride in the presentation of their rooms and they were very friendly and obliging with their service. Improvement can be made by upgrading the sliding door that was hard to open and to fasten the loose toilet seat.

Beware of first impressions.

The room was clean and comfortable. On a very hot day the air conditioner was more than up to the job. First impressions, I wondered what I was going to experience. Old car wreck in parking space on jack. Gardens were in need of loving care. But.. on entering the room we were impressed. So loved having the block out blind on such a hot day/night. Overall a wonderful but short stay.
