Waters Edge The Strand

Waters Edge The Strand

10/10 Excellent
"As per usual, it was a marvellous day at Waters edge.. this was our fifth day and loved it just as much as prior. Just one note there was a renovation going on in the room directly above us. Which was a little unnerving at night.. Other than that small hiccough the stay was perfect and we will be back. Very easy parking and the room was fabulously clean. A beautiful lady who was the cleaner said she’d been working there for 12 years and was a delight to talk to and assist us. Thank you once again"
