Was perfect for 5 of us staying there - great location, easy to get to and plenty of off-street parking for the 2nd vehicle. It was even suggested taking the mountain bikes off the back of the camper and taking them inside for safety (we were going to do it anyway). 2 toilets very useful but only 1 bathroom created a queue for the shower in the morning. Beds very comfy as well

This is a very family friendly property. Staff were very helpful and maintain a very high level of cleanliness. The resident cat is adorable and made us feel at home. The only small issue , is that there is very little soundproofing so you can hear voices from adjoining rooms. Would definitely go back again.

We booked a family room, it was great! Plenty of room both upstairs and down, the only complaint would be that the stairs are very noisy but probably not something that would be an easy fix otherwise enjoyed our stay

Excellent Room!!

Our stay was wonderful! The room was great. Downstairs we had a kitchette, dinner room table, sitting area and bathroom. The bedroom was upstairs. We had a private patio with a hot tub and the parking was right outside your door. Check in and check out was simple enough. Would definitely stay here again!

Expensive not great.

Expensive stay, that wasn't worth it. It's quite old fashioned and just feels tired, ie shower curtain in bathroom. The security is a worry with a very old ranch slider lever lock on the front door. But the back door to the spa pool ( more on that further down) doesn't lock. The area is brick walls but the roof is the plastic corrugated sheet. So it would be easy for someone to break in. I slept with my keys and electronics. The spa pool is actually not a spa pool, a wee bit of false advertising. It's actually a big round bath with two normal taps on it with no jets. Overall very expensive for a ok stay. Won't be back
