    expansive unit
    cramped bathroom

    Cozy coastal hideaway with family vibes

    The beautiful views across the Thames and an expansive unit made our stay memorable. My children loved the outdoor area, running around and exploring, while we relaxed with a glass of wine at sunset.

    The unit's bathroom was a bit cramped and could use a better layout. some furniture was showing signs of wear, which took away from the otherwise enjoyable experience.

    ideal base for exploring thames' heritage and coastal beauty

    I had an amazing experience here, the team was super friendly and the cabin was exceptionally clean with stunning views. staying just 500 meters away from the thames coastal walkway made it a breeze to enjoy lovely walks by the water and delightful parks nearby.

    While the stunning views are a major plus, the condition of the landscaping and driveway really drags this place down. it's riddled with potholes and could use a serious upgrade. The kitchen equipment is minimal, including an old electric cooker. only basic utensils are provided, making meal prep a hassle. the bathroom setup is frustratingly cramped, and I found the shower pressure to be quite excessive, making it challenging to manage at times.

    tidy space
    poor layout
    road condition

    Clean environment, well-stocked kitchen, quiet location

    The driveway is a disaster, riddled with potholes!!! Room design is frustrating, lacking power points and towel rails. The small bathroom is infuriatingly cramped without proper facilities!!!

    beachfront location
    shower pressure

    We had a canny time, lovely location right by the beach! The room was clean and comfy, perfect for a relaxing stay. Just a shame the shower pressure was a bit mental, felt like a waterfall! canny spot for a family break!

    beautiful view
    comfy beds
    good location
    cramped space
    basic kitchen utensils

    I stayed in the Apartment with Balcony and the view was really beautiful, perfect for sunset watching. The beds were comfy enough for a good night's sleep. The park area across the road was great for a picnic. the room felt a bit cramped with all the furniture. the kitchen necessities were basic. could've used some more utensils. the motel was reasonably priced, which was nice for a short stay.

    Just a good match for a passing visit in Thames with exceptional value. The room was spotless upon arrival, which was a pleasant surprise. Make sure to check the parking availability in advance.

    spacious unit
    stunning ocean views
    cramped bathroom
    high shower pressure
    limited kitchen utensils

    The property offered a clean and spacious unit with a lovely outside deck that provided stunning ocean views, perfect for creating family memories. The convenience of being able to bring our well-behaved dog added to the enjoyment of our stay. the bathroom could use better design as it felt cramped, and the shower pressure was unexpectedly high, making it a bit challenging to manage. the kitchen could benefit from more utensils for meal preparation.

    spacious unit
    fully functional kitchen
    clean facilities

    The unit was super spacious and had a fully functional kitchen, which made cooking easy! I loved being right by the beach, saw so many oyster catchers! Everything was very clean and well taken care of.

    Entirely satisfied.
