Our second time staying here; it’s easy, super clean gas everything we need and very affordable. The lake across the road is a lovely walk. A bit out of town but we were self catering (and this was easy to do)

The room was quite small, much smaller than the online advertising suggests (pictorially). However, everything worked properly, the bathroom has recently been re-fitted well; the electronic door locks are a novel idea; the beds were pretty much what you'd expect, but not a disaster; appliances, including the aircon, all worked fine. I would not choose to stay with more than two people in the assigned room (#1), but would be happy to stay again if it was just me or me +1 child.

Room had a serious ventilation issue, the floor was constantly damp. The room itself served its purpose, beds a little soft however that's personal preference. Now, the exit driveway is way too steep, yes I have a low vehicle however it's not that low! We had to reverse back up it and use the check in entrance to leave as my bumper was scraping on the road!
