What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I had such an incredible mini-break here, Sue and her team were so fantastic. It's in a great location, with a gorgeous boardwalk morning stroll right out the front, a brilliant pool that was immaculate with towels supplied, and the rooms were modern, clean and spotless. Netflix was easy to operate and the discount voucher for local restaurants was a bonus. What more could you ask for?! You can't go wrong!! Thanks guys!!”
“Fantastic experience - nice rooms, great location and exceptional service. Unfortunately my partner suffered a medical episode and had to be taken to hospital via ambulance. Sue, the manager was one of the first persons over to assist and sat with my partner and I until the ambulance arrived, assisting where necessary. The incident occurred well past reception hours and she was there supporting the whole time. Not to mentioned, Sue had also allowed us an early check in with no charge. Would highly recommend.”
“Quality, very stylish and roomy. Great bathroom, dispenser toiletries , quality linen and towels, beautiful views from the balcony. Easy check in and convenient location. Extra special services arranging express postage for items left behind. Thoroughly recommended.”
“Enjoyed our overnight stay. Dined at their brewery (500m). Swam in the outdoor pool. Felt safe and secure.”
“Overnight stay, stunning views from our balcony & surrounds, such a beautiful spot. Welcoming greeting at reception, we arrived on the train early & were able to leave our cases to wonder town. Contacted not long after as they accomodate us with an earlier checkin. We enjoyed our stay.”
“A wonderful gem — convenient and comfortable What a great find! The hotel is perfectly located, just a short walk from the town centre, with beautiful views over the lake. The rooms are spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Everything feels well cared for and thoughtfully arranged. The price is also very reasonable for the quality and location. I’ll certainly be back!”
“Very nice motel, clean and the staff ware excellent and couldn't do enough for you. We would highly recommend this place as the beds were so comfortable as well. The lakeside rooms had great views and so relaxing sitting on the balcony overlooking the lake.”
