Sitting on the balcony over looking the lake for breakfast and dinner was lovely. We will definitely be back. ##### Jacki C. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 14 Apr 2025 #### Excellent location, bit difficult to find where our apartment was. Poor signage. Apartment was lovely, but felt it was a bit tired. Doors to decking from the bedroom were swollen at the bottom which made them difficult to shut. Drain smell in the shower. Info description stated there was a club house. Pub and restaurant, did not realise it was Ballyhoo all in one. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 30 Jun 2024 #### Perfect Place! Beautifully appointed apartment in a good location to explore the area. We had a lovely stay and everything you could possibly need was where you would expect to find it!! ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Hemsby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hemsby-Hotels.d3000011166.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Boundary Shoreditch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Boundary-London.h2819429.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Bliss Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-The-Royal-Bliss-Barbados.h80368508.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Artemide](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Artemide.h45856.Hotel-Information) > > [Poseidon Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kos-Hotels-Poseidon-Hotel-And-Apartments.h1711315.Hotel-Information) > > [Kamandalu Ubud](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ubud-Hotels-Kamandalu-Ubud.h522935.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westley Hotel - Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calgary-Hotels-The-Westley-Calgary-Downtown.h66541227.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Chiquita - Adults only (+12)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ses-Salines-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Chiquita.h8721768.Hotel-Information) > > [Marianna Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-MARIANNA-HOTEL.h54521486.Hotel-Information) > > [Karma St. Martin's](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isles-Of-Scilly-Hotels-Karma-St-Martins-Hotel.h9248220.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Falkirk Wheel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falkirk-Wheel-Hotels.0-l6088379-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Britannia Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berwick-Upon-Tweed-Hotels-Britannia-Cottage.h68737282.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Petersfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Petersfield-Hotels.d5656.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Richard Onslow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cranleigh-Hotels-The-Richard-Onslow.h11899431.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels.d6046393.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Cobham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cobham-Hotels.d5859.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Agios Nikolaos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels.s50-0-d5193.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Wookey Hole Caves](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wookey-Hole-Caves-Hotels.0-l6094235-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Dortmund](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dortmund-Hotels.d1066.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Inverness (INV) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/inv/fco/inverness-to-rome) > > [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Derby (DRB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/drb/aberdeen-to-derby) > > [Flights from Frankfurt (FRA) to Zürich (ZRH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/fra/zrh/frankfurt-to-zurich) > > [Flights from LON-All Airports to Denver Intl.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/den/london-to-denver) > > [Flights from Antalya (AYT) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ayt/man/antalya-to-manchester) ### Activities > [Things to do in Kota Kinabalu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Kota-Kinabalu.d602.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Whitehouse Farm Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitehouse-Farm-Centre-Morpeth.d553248621532494489.Attraction) > > [Naypyidaw Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naypyidaw.d6183589.Holidays-City-Breaks)
