For those who don't care about pretension, this place is a gem! Our private cottage was so tidy, like checking into a cabin on a ship. Marcus has overlooked no detail. Just a perfect little place."

Restaurant food was excellent and very affordable with good portions. I stay there every chance I’m in bridgewater.

"Had a excellent stay here. Came for one night, stayed for three. Our room was clean, quiet and spacious. The bed and bed sheets was very comfortable. The staff was very nice and friendly. When we walked in through the front door, it was like seeing a old friend again, even though we've never meet before lol. We didn't try the breakfast, so I cannot comment on that. There was a small issue with the key cards deprograming themselves, but only had to go to the desk and they reprogramed them again. Joanne at the desk said that they are having issues with that but they are putting in a new system next month to fix it. The staff was very helpful in making suggestions on places to go and things to do."
