The Edgewater Resort & Spa

The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The cleaner that looked after our room was fantastic it was so lovely to come back to our room to find our bed made and fresh towels to start our day, they work really hard to make your stay comfortable, she was all ways smiling and happy to see us, the restaurant staff were all ways happy and friendly, we were really impressed with the grounds so clean, one thing I must add the price for the washers and dryer was up there in price $20 for wash dry and soap can get expensive for families, but we had a fantastic stay will definitely be back for our fourth stay in the future, 😊"
