Très dispendieux.

Le personnel est très gentil et serviable. L’emplacement est super!! Près d’une plage publique accessible en voiture où il est agréable de se baigner. Un bon restaurant! La vue sur la rivière est magnifique.

Nous avons séjourné dans une section qui était un peu désuète. Un vieux tapis au sol avec du vieux mobilier. L’endroit était propre au premier regard et un entretient quotidien de la chambre a été fait, mais il valait mieux ne pas déplacer un meuble pour voir ce qu’il y avait à l’arrière. Il y a des sections beaucoup plus récentes qui semblaient très bien. L’eau n’est pas toujours accessible, elle est parfois coupée.

Over-priced, but standard for the area. Lovely staff, which made it a great overnight spot.

I was met by a very lovely young lady at reception, who even noted my birth date at check-in and was the first person to wish me early the next morning! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, although my meal at River Lodge took a very long time to prepare. However, all staff were professional, friendly and kind. My self-catering room had everything I needed for my short stay.

Dinner took long to prepare

The room was clean and the food was nice

The traffic and pedestrian noise from the street as we were in a room next to the road
