It was fine for our needs, which were basically to have somewhere to spend the night. Bathroom in our unit could do with some TLC though.

Discovery Settlers Hotel
Online info to contact hotel direct - very poor. On arrival, grateful to considerate receptionist for moving two senior guests to a room not requiring stairs. A microwave and bottle of cold water in the room would be helpful especially when arriving after dining room closed.
