The self fill mineral pool was fantastic!!! Six foot across - so relaxing. The bed was huge and super comfortable and the room even had a partial view of the lake. The garden was beautiful and the staff just lovely. Only suggestion would be that some of the wooden furniture surfaces need a sand down and revarnish and the plastic above the pool and the shower also need a refresh. Will definitely be back!

The room had its own private spa, a good facility but difficult to get in and out of as it is recessed. We didn't like the bedrooms being upstairs and the bathroom downstairs. Otherwise it was comfortable.

The gentleman who runs this property is a lovely man. He is kind and helpful. Unfortunately the motel is very run down and did not look like the photos shown on the webpage. We found many things in disrepair in the unit including the oven/dishwasher but the one main concern was the safety of the hot water when showering.The water run’s suddenly extremely hot ( dangerously so) then cold within seconds.
