Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It's very hard to pull yourself and kids on to inflatables some more ladders would be very much appreciated 😁 I would recommend an adult per child if small. Not for safety (as that no issue) but to get on obstacles. Felt spent more time getting them on than they did on them.
But saying all that kids loved it. The warm showers after was a nice surpriseWritten 5 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Subhasree RDublin, Ireland10 contributionsA lovely walk that has a combination of river, canal and meadow walks.
An easy walking path that is 99% flat.
some of the areas of the walk were closed and no proper signage was put in place to know it. So bear in mind you might end up walking back in the same path rather than finishing the loop.Written 13 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jet426245918742 contributionsWe had a lovely experience on the viking tour boat, we got it from Hodson Bay Hotel to Athlone and back again after a few hours shopping. It was great to hear the history of the lake and learn all about the wild life that inhabit the lake, I would highly recommend the experience well worth it.Written 5 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
