9/10 Wonderful! (987 reviews)
"We had a great stay. The service and staff were excellent. A few minor things like a fridge that was a bit too like a freezer and slightly saggy single beds (but they were plush and warm!), can be easily sorted. Great location, quiet area near the lake. Was great!"

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,003 reviews)
"Room was fairly clean. A deeper clean of bathroom, kitchen areas would be nice ie. Mold etc. Decor is a bit tired and being winter time the room struggles to keep warm. Thankfully there were 2 heaters to keep up. However, apart from this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Location was great for us ..."
