The location was incredible. The cabins themselves were a little worse for wear. They are also pretty close together. But the service was excellent, the facilities were adequate, the locals lovely and the gift shop was an exciting addition!

The hotel was a nice place to stay, most of the staff were friendly except for one staff member who gave a rude reaction when I mentioned where I was from, it felt like I was being judged for where I live,that tarnished the stay just a bit

I was not impressed with the room we were allocated, I unfortunately was given a room that hadn’t yet been renovated. The staff were exceptional and were prompt to assist. Due to feeling so unsafe we did not stay the second night and found alternative accommodation and received a partial refund for the second night.

Staff were friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived, nothing was too much trouble.. my 4 stars for facilities is because the pool was closed and I wish it had been advertised to save a childs upset, but we'll be back it was a short lived disappointment.. we should have checked. Thanks😊

The office staff were courteous and called to confirm our arrival time. The place was very quiet, probably one of the most quietest places we have stayed with no noise from the main road or patrons. Couldn’t sleep in though due to cleaning cart rattling along out the front back and forth by 8:30am and door bell every time someone walked into the restaurant. Rooms were spacious yet bathrooms were tired and in need of maintenance. Rust visible from rooms and bathrooms on the walls. Beds were comfortable and had a great night sleep.

The location was convenient, but overall the stay didn’t meet expectations. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, and when I dropped something that rolled under it, I noticed a significant amount of pet fur on the floorboards. I understand it’s a pet-friendly stay — which is appreciated — but with a pet cleaning fee, I expected a much more thorough clean. Our TV didn’t work for the entire stay, which was disappointing, especially during a longer booking. There was also no room servicing during our stay, so we had to take towels and linen to reception ourselves for replacements. Customer service from reception was average — not rude, but not particularly helpful or friendly either. For the price per night, the lack of cleanliness, working amenities, and service fell short. There’s potential here, but the basics need more attention to justify the cost.
