The beds were comfortable dressed with good linen. Perhaps because of frequent trips with this group and the fact that we paid premium price for the accommodation we thought a lot more could be done to warrant such high prices. For example scant supplies or no pepper salt oil foil and other such staples you would expect. There were no tissues and bathroom products meagre gor so many people ##### Patricia F. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bianca C. 24 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice weekend away Great property with multiple living, cooking and sleeping zones. Which was very handy when you have kids requiring naps during the day. The only call out is a lack of chopping boards as we could only find one small board. ##### Bianca C.

There were a couple of thing that weren't organised, like there was a fire but nothing to chop the wood, no guard or anything to start it. The heaters in the rooms wouldn't switch on! Other than that though we had a wonderful time and the company who looked after us were exceptional! ##### Megan M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Rodos Maris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Mitsis-Rodos-Maris-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h1426932.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Bristol (BRS) to Palma de Mallorca (PMI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/brs/pmi/bristol-to-palma-de-mallorca) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Manises (VLC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/vlc/newcastle-to-valencia) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Seville (SVQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/svq/manchester-to-seville) > > [easyJet Crumlin (BFS) to Manchester (MAN) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/easyjet-from-belfast-intl-to-manchester/u2/bfs/man) ### Packages > [Italy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/all-inclusive-holidays/86/Italy) > > [Petra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Petra-Jordan.d180620.Attraction) > > [Anguilla Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anguilla.d6.Holidays-City-Breaks)
