Top Hawks Nest Hotel Reviews

Reflections Hawks Nest - Holiday Park

Reflections Hawks Nest - Holiday Park

8/10 Good
"I was travelling with my parents and their little dog and had a comfortable stay. Our two-bedroom cabin was spacious, clean and tidy. It was a little older than some of the newer cabins available, but we understood that only designated cabins are available for guests travelling with pets. The location was lovely and quiet, with easy access to the beach. Check-in was simple and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. My only small criticism was the additional linen charge. Given we had paid extra for the linen, it would have been nice for the second bed to have been made up for our arrival rather than having to do this ourselves. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay, particularly when travelling with a pet."
