What Previous Guests Had to Say

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Reef Lodge is often praised for its excellent location, being a short walk from both Towan and Great Western beaches and the town center. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which feature modern bathrooms, despite the building's period features; they also find it convenient to have a kettle with tea and coffee in the room. While some have mentioned the rooms could be a bit dated, the value for money is generally considered great. Plus, several guests have noted the availability of free parking in the area.

The location was great. It was convenient to many places. The staff members were very friendly.

The curtains were very see through. The room was also very cramped. There was barely any space around the beds so i had to store everything underneath it.
