The stay was quite average overall, with the cabin being fairly basic and lacking charm, especially due to the lack of trees on the property which made it feel uninviting. However, the location was convenient, right next to the road and close to amenities. The staff on hand were helpful, but the cabin could have used more cooking utensils for those wanting to self-cater. Given the price, I feel there are better options in the area.

The cabin was a standard 2-bedroom setup with king-size beds. It felt comfortable enough, but the ambiance was lacking due to the stark environment.

The service was satisfactory, but there was not much interaction as it was primarily a self-catering experience. The staff were responsive when needed.

The cabin we stayed in was spacious with two bedrooms and king-size beds, making it great for our family and pets. The large living area and roomy kitchen were definite perks. However, the location is quite close to a main road, which made it noisy at night. Overall, it was a clean and tidy environment with helpful staff, but it's more suited for workers than a vacation spot.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and eager to assist, making me feel right at home. The cabin I stayed in was spacious, modern, and clean, and the location was convenient with a restaurant next door. However, I felt that while the experience was great, there were some minor areas for improvement, particularly in the dining options available. Overall, it offered good value for money.

I had a wonderful stay at this park hotel! The cabin was modern and spacious, making it a comfortable getaway. The location was convenient, with a great restaurant nearby, though there was a minor concern about safety on the narrow landing. Overall, it was a great value for the price and a lovely spot to relax.

I had a pleasant stay at the Studio Cabin. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the check-in process a breeze. While the cabin was basic, it was clean and comfortable for a quick stopover at a competitive price. My only concern was the lack of a handrail on one side of a narrow landing, but overall, I enjoyed my time here and found great value for money.
