Mar 18, 2024 #### Lovely place We had a great stay at the Heron Lodge. The property had everything you could’ve asked for and was in a lovely, quiet area of the water park. ##### Laura W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie U. Jan 16, 2024 #### Friends get together Perfect location and lovely house which was well equipped for all our needs. Only one comment, the overhead shower in the ground floor bedroom meant that you’d get your hair wet every shower. A built in hand held attachment would have been great. Many thanks for the cake and wine, we had a great reunion. ##### Jackie U. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Apr 26, 2024 #### Heron Lodge We were delighted with the lodge for what it offered and was in a great location. Cleanliness was superb and standard of furnishings were high. Unfortunately there was a problem with setting the heating 30degrees in the bedrooms when we arrived, sadly the downstairs bedroom was always cold. It was difficult to get a good temperature after that. The warm water supply was also an issue, only enough warm water for 3 showers the first day and despite putting on boost and the immersion, as advised when we rang, we had periods of no hot water Wednesday night through to Thursday. Not ideal especially with a baby. With resolution of heating and water issues, we would not hesitate recommending the lodge ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d117-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels.d178239.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Crowne Plaza Kitchener-Waterloo by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Kitchener-Waterloo.h12349.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Nadi](https://www.expedia.ca/Nadi-Hotels.d2515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Everett](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels.d6054460.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/edi/ottawa-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/las/victoria-to-las-vegas) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/las/seattle-to-las-vegas) ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Kicking Horse Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kicking-Horse-Mountain-Resort-Golden.d6058313.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Greenland](https://www.expedia.ca/Greenland.dx11107)
