Best Axedale Hotels

Loved our powered site, mostly very quiet and private. The en suite was fantastic but would have loved mop/broom to keep floor clean. Linen supplied was a wonderful surprise. Owners super friendly and obliging as were staff. Had fun in the Spa! BBQ's disappointing as they required payment to operate (owner was more than happy to pay the toll, thanks Ian!) Will be back in the future.

I booked a 2-day stay for a family outing with kids. The only reason I chose this hotel was the heated pool and jet spa, which were mentioned in the reviews and hotel description. I read a lot of reviews on the internet before booking. The moment I stepped into the hotel, I started to wonder if these reviews were about this property. The exterior looked like an outdated, below-average motor inn. The front desk was not friendly. The first question was, “Have you stayed here before?” I said no, and then he told me I could go to the first floor using the stairs or the lift near the reception. He provided no other information about any of the amenities. The corridors were dusty and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for months. The room was not neat, with outdated furniture and carpets. However, I was not aware that this was just the beginning of my disappointments. As I mentioned earlier, my preference was for the pool for my kids, so I ignored all the above and went to check the pool. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, and the water was so cold. The receptionist said the heating system was damaged. The kids were very disappointed, and I thought I could make them happy with the jet spa inside the bathroom. I filled the water, and when they switched on the jet, the whole unit went dark as the main power switch went off. I tried to call the reception through the hotel phone but failed, then I tried from my mobile, but it went to voicemail. I went and spoke with the receptionist. He came and had a look and told me he couldn’t do anything to fix the jet. I was thinking, why did I book this hotel? There is a nice hotel very close to this property. After two days of an unpleasant stay, when I went to check out at the reception, no one was there. After waiting and ringing the call bell several times, I left the key at the reception and again went to the first floor and wandered around looking for the receptionist. At last, I found him, told him about the key, and left. Very unprofessional hotel. Stay away.

Dinner here mid week and boy was it busy. Huge bistro, conference rooms and resort all in one. Staff are very good, quick and efficient. it is very noisy of there are lots of large tables. But hey, its a bistro. The area to order food is confused. Everyone lines up right in front of the walkway from the main entrance to the bistro. Its a shame they dont move the order area around the corner where two greeters stand in a huge area - called reservations. Much better suited to food ordering. The bar seems busy as well. Lots of large TV's, gaming room (of course). Good selection of food. Came out quick and cooked as ordered. Good place to have a meal and recommended.

Recently stayed in a cabin with family. What a fantastic park! Our cabin was spacious and we were provided with everything you need to cook with. Full size fridge. Large bathroom. The park has wonderful activities for children our 4 year old had a fantastic time there was a put put course, indoor & outdoor play area. All the staff were very kind and helpful with anything you need Booking was super easy. The park has some beautiful looking cabins they have camping style cabins that looks awesome! Will have to try that cabin next time! All the guests we met were very kind and having a great time while staying at the park. Really enjoyed our stay. Hopefully we can visit again soon. The park is located back from the main road. There is a couple of restaurants and a pub in walking distance.

We stayed for 2 nights on a recent trip. The room and bathroom were both very clean. We found the bed to be comfortable and, although near the road, did not notice the traffic noise. Overall a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. Finally, we realised a day later we had left a pillow in the room. On contacting the motel we were able to arrange to have the pillow posted back to us. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and cooperative in arranging the return the pillow for which we are very grateful. We were very happy and thankful for the extra time and effort the young lady put in.

This motor inn is now called Lakeside, locating it the property by its name certainly was confusing. Despite paying for a lake view room with a balcony , I was booked in to an old box room overlooking a carpark and missing a balcony. The bathroom floor floods after each shower and the cold slippery floor tiles are definitely a hazard as the little square of bath mat isn’t adequate. This is the first time I am not assigned the type of room I have paid for through Trip. Perhaps I will think twice making the same booking again.
