The Rutland Arms Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful historic hotel. Fantastic restoration. Staff are lovely. Recommended to everyone."

Burwood Manor Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a pleasant stay at Burwood Hotel. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and well maintained, and the hotel provided a good base for our visit. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the overall service and hospitality. A nice option for travellers looking for a comfortable and convenient stay"

Asure Cooks Gardens Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodations were well-maintained and the bedding provided a comfortable experience. Regrettably, the quality of the pillows did not meet expectations. The en-suite facilities were clean, and the shower offered excellent water pressure. The staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism and provided exceptional service."

Riverside Motel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I had a one night stay at Riverside. The bed was comfy, the room was large and very clean. Even though our room was closest to the main road along the river it was extremely quiet and we both slept well. We would definitely stay again. The staff were extremely friendly too. We highly recommend this accommodation."

BK's Magnolia Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Easy parking. Really peaceful and quiet room. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Nice spa bath shower combination in the bathroom of the room I had. I enjoyed my stay some things that would have liked: 1. Having the bodywash/shampoo dispensers lower down so they are within reach when sitting in the spa. 2. Having a handle to hold while stepping into/out of the spa. Bottom line, would I return Yes."
