Fantastic A fabulous 60s themed unit. It had all we needed and was spacious and comfortable. Staff were friendly and location was excellent, walkable to the lake and town centre. Will definitely return.

As an American, I love places like this as a 1970’s spot. Clean, safe, nostalgic, yes please. Very highly recommended.

Very comfortable, felt like a private batch than a motel. The extra single bed was great. Love the unique decor! We stayed in winter but it would be stunning in summer with use of a lovely back garden common area.

Fabulously retro vibe in the units, and the grounds were beautifully maintained. We did not bring our dog but having seen the grassed area at the back of our unit we will do so next time. A great set up!

GoodStayed with family · For friends and family
The room was acceptable for one night .staying any longer would not be comfortable. It was a very tight space. It may be a conversion of a garage or something.
