We only stayed one night, but found that Willowbank set a pretty high standard that was not met by many other accommodations we stayed at during our 11 day trip. We were a bit worried about what we'd find, based on other bad or mediocre reviews. It did *seem* like a long drive past the town centre and many other... more

I live in double room which is nice. The hotel has a family feeling. The hotel has a little garden and a playground. I tried to jump on the trambolin which funs to do so. You may also try a swing. Facilities are great. They have a laudry machine and a dryer which uses merit system, for those who use... more
