I had a wonderful experience at this charming heritage property, which is wonderfully located near a bird sanctuary and has lovely views along the canal. The rooms were clean and basic, offering good value for the price, and I really enjoyed the homely meals. However, I was disturbed by loud chanting during my stay, which made it less ideal for relaxation. Overall, it's a great option for anyone looking to enjoy nature and authenticity.

I had a pleasant stay at the resort, enjoying the serene atmosphere around the cottages, surrounded by lush greenery and a peaceful canal. The friendly staff made the experience more enjoyable, and there were some lovely moments like the sound from the temple and watching the children's school across the canal. However, the Wi-Fi was quite poor and only available at the reception, plus the food could have been better. Additionally, the early morning noise from the temple was a bit disruptive for light sleepers.
