Nice place to stay
It was a lovely stay. Stayed with my little family for 3 nights. The room was clean and had nice heating, the cleaners came in and gave us fresh towels and cleaned up a bit for us while we were out, it was nice. Was very close to the train station and could hear the train but wasn’t a bother to us, they provided earplugs if it was though! Our bedroom had the bathroom connected which was the shared bathroom between us all. The walls are very thin so you can hear everything from the floor above you if you’re on the lower level. Overall, it was a lovely experience. If we were to stay again, I would purchase a bigger suite

Close to the railway line, so may be too noisy for some. 1 bdrm was spacious. Parking looks like it might be a problem but never was. Handy to train, bus, motorway and outlet shopping. Heating was good, shower was too. Very reasonably priced. I think we'll be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Checking in we felt customer service was poor was not shown where the unit was the key number and unit numbers were different. Same person who checked us in ran into the unit without knocking to tell us where the key should go to give us a electricity. Hand wash container is obviously just refilled top was very dirty so where the blinds. Leaving same person who checked us in came running in to check the unit I am assuming, we were still in the carport. Clock was noisy kept me awake more than the trains ear plugs they give you did not help which I thought was for the trains, not the clock. Did not smell very nice on entering. Need curtains in the bedroom instead of cheap blinds. Very disappointed. Herbert family

Pros:property is very close to the main highway. Property is close to train station. While its not 5 star,beds and rooms are clean and comfortable. Cons:Parking is average but due to location is not really the fault of the lodge. Lodge is right next to the train line.

The unit was clean, tidy, great cooking facilities, loved the shower and bathroom. Staff are friendly. Lovely garden and surrounding pathways and trees. However, it was very close to the railroad tracks and it sounded like a train passed through the unit several times during the night. Ear plugs were provided but it didn’t stop all the noise.

Cold
Very cold, one panel heater on the wall couldn’t cope with the low temperature and really high ceiling in the room. Slept with the heater on full all night, along with all the blankets in the room. Tv kept loosing reception, and with only 2.4Gb of free wifi, streaming anything was very difficult. I have stayed in worse places, but I have also stayed in a lot better for the price
