10/10 Excellent
"Staff were lovely, our room was great, 1 queen and a single, with a semi divided wall, which was perfect for our needs. Hot water and water pressure was great, view from the room was great. So close to town, walking distance. No microwave but bar fridge and tea/coffee"

8/10 Good
"I stayed in one of the cabins for two nights in October 2026. It was lovely and clean, and quiet. I had everything needed to ensure a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Mike who I met on arrival. It’s is within walking distance to the shopping area and the lakefront. I would definitely recommend staying there and will do so myself."
