Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate honest reviews and listen to all of them. I'm the new owner, Chris, and I will take this on board. The wifi is already being upgraded, I'll look at putting more power recepticles in for phone charging. We've had problems with people stealing the towels, but trying to create a solution that works. Hope we can contribute to your stay at The Entrance next time :)

Hi Cian, There are no words to describe my disappointment in this situation. Unfortunately your reservation came through at the worst possible moment, as I was halfway through transitioning between reservation management systems. Although this transition only took a couple of hours, your booking somehow was made without any notification, and therefore wasn't recorded in the new system. By the time I had realised your booking was there we were already booked out. I did call you to advise you of the situation to which you said you would arrange something else. Usually we are far more organised and I would like to invite you to spend the night with us free of charge next time you are up this way. All the best.
