"It was alright, the staff were nice. Location was fantastic just walks away from waterhead, town centre and other places. Room was clean but on the table there was a green fly, must have slipped in from the window. Other than that it was pretty nice."

Lakehouse at The Waterhead Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Our room was on the top (2nd) floor so beware if you have heavy cases"

Waterhead Bath Suites

8/10 Good

"Pros - good location. Short walk into town. Room clean, modern & spacious. Self check in with good clear instruction prior to arrival. Cons - Car park full so had to pay for parking on car park next door. No plates at breakfast only cardboard dishes which made it difficult to butter toast as the bread wouldn't fit in the dish. Would definately stay here again though & just maybe arrive earlier to get a parking space."
