Clean spacious room with parking convenient at front of room . Very friendly and accommodating staff who went the extra mile with the homemade baked cookies . Would definitely stay again and recommend. The only thing was the tv had no signal but that’s not sandbars fault .

The room was clean, bed was comfortable and the kitchenette and had everything we needed to make breakfast, including two Nespresso pods for coffee. Lots of instant also available. Plush towels were lovely. The bathroom was very basic but clean. Internet was so slow as to be unusable during our stay. Don’t know if that was typical or not. Easy walking distance to restaurants and grocery store.

Ideal room & nice touches
Perfect stay, rooms clean, tidy & bed comfy with great linen & duvet. The little touches of homemade cookies, welcome note and the weather for the next day with chocolates was a great touch. I have stayed in a number of places in Lakes, and this one is so far my favorite so will definitely be returning.
