Travellers describe The Ash Grove Inn as a simple lakeside motel with beautiful views, generally clean rooms, and tasty on‑site dining, but note inconsistent restaurant hours, confusing TV setups, and service that can be hard to reach at times.
Room quality ranges from spacious suites to small or dated spaces, with a few comments about cool temperatures and a very cramped bathroom. Cleanliness earns frequent praise, though a few reports cite stained bedding, brownish tap water, and a run‑down feel. Expect a scenic, no‑frills stay with uneven amenities and service availability.

Great view, comfortable beds, the rest not so good. We selected this hotel in part because it had an attached restaurant, which would have been convenient for breakfast and possibly supper. But when we arrived we were very annoyed to be told that the restaurant was closed the two days we were there. This despite no notice on Expedia, or on the hotel's web site, or even the' sign at the hotel which claimed the restaurant was 'open daily'. For the rest, the room had the smallest, most cramped bathroom I have ever seen. Operating the TV required a good knowledge of how to select the right HDMI channel and select the satellite feed. The instructions and channel guide supplied in the room were just wrong and totally useless. The hotel claimed a 25 Mbit internet feed, but speed was spotty and sometimes resembled dial-up speeds! Staff were scarce to non-existent. There was someone in the office when we came to check in, but at other times the office was locked up tight. There was no-one there when we went to check out at 8:20 am, so we left the key in the room. We will not be staying at this hotel again.

This is a hidden gem. Looks average from the outside, but the room (we chose the bigger one) was wonderful. Clean, spacious, comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Nice to have an on site dining option that was reasonable and the food was good. Best part was the motel dock just across the road. You could sit in the provided chairs and stare at that lake view for hours. Very peaceful and worth the price of admission

Rooms are ok. Staff not readily available. Asked for an extra blanket as there wasnt one for the pull out bed and we still didnt receive one. They just provided a thin sham/duvet cover as a blanket. Unfortunately restaurant was closed both days. The hotel is okay but not for the cost, its expensive for what is provided.

Our room was spacious and well set up. We went for the suite on and very happy that we did. The only drawback was that we were looking forward to breakfast in the restaurant as we did the year before but they didn’t open until 11, I think it was staff shortage but disappointing

The hotel was basically closed for renovations. The front desk was locked when I arrived at 6:00 pm and a sign said the hotel was closed for the week for renovations. I rang the bell and called two numbers before being admitted. Everything was a mess. I should hade been told the dinning room was closed. Many other rooms were be renovated throughout the night. Given the poor condition of my room, I see why they were renovating. Stay away!

We stayed in room 12. Stains on the bed sheet corners, fridge had a broken piece. Could not even brush our teeth as the water came out brown/orange from rust(?) in pipes. It is a “cute” visually room- however did not feel clean. Only stayed 1 night.

Very clean, friendly staff, convenient location., excellent dining facilities. Breakfast in the sunshine on the patio was wonderful. But couldn’t get tv to work and no instructions provided, fridge had no freezer for ice cubes or freezer packs but was itself so cold it froze our milk in lumps. And either their phone doesn’t work or they don’t answer it or emails, so how do you get in touch?

I rang the bell and called two numbers before being admitted. Everything was a mess. I should hade been told the dinning room was closed. Many other rooms were be renovated throughout the night. Given the poor condition of my room, I see why they were renovating. Stay away!

Great view, comfortable beds, the rest not so good. We selected this hotel in part because it had an attached restaurant, which would have been convenient for breakfast and possibly supper. But when we arrived we were very annoyed to be told that the restaurant was closed the two days we were there. This despite no notice on Expedia, or on the hotel's web site, or even the' sign at the hotel which claimed the restaurant was 'open daily'. For the rest, the room had the smallest, most cramped bathroom I have ever seen. Operating the TV required a good knowledge of how to select the right HDMI channel and select the satellite feed. The instructions and channel guide supplied in the room were just wrong and totally useless. The hotel claimed a 25 Mbit internet feed, but speed was spotty and sometimes resembled dial-up speeds! Staff were scarce to non-existent. There was someone in the office when we came to check in, but at other times the office was locked up tight. There was no-one there when we went to check out at 8:20 am, so we left the key in the room. We will not be staying at this hotel again.

This is a hidden gem. Looks average from the outside, but the room (we chose the bigger one) was wonderful. Clean, spacious, comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Nice to have an on site dining option that was reasonable and the food was good. Best part was the motel dock just across the road. You could sit in the provided chairs and stare at that lake view for hours. Very peaceful and worth the price of admission

Rooms are ok. Staff not readily available. Asked for an extra blanket as there wasnt one for the pull out bed and we still didnt receive one. They just provided a thin sham/duvet cover as a blanket. Unfortunately restaurant was closed both days. The hotel is okay but not for the cost, its expensive for what is provided.

Our room was spacious and well set up. We went for the suite on and very happy that we did. The only drawback was that we were looking forward to breakfast in the restaurant as we did the year before but they didn’t open until 11, I think it was staff shortage but disappointing

The hotel was basically closed for renovations. The front desk was locked when I arrived at 6:00 pm and a sign said the hotel was closed for the week for renovations. I rang the bell and called two numbers before being admitted. Everything was a mess. I should hade been told the dinning room was closed. Many other rooms were be renovated throughout the night. Given the poor condition of my room, I see why they were renovating. Stay away!

Enjoyed our stay here even though we arrived only just in time to enjoy the sunset on the dock. The meal in the restaurant was fabulous and the lady was very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable, all that we needed for a 1 night stop.

No amenities, such as a kettle or a machine for the coffee pucks in the room. Also, there was no TV service, despite saying there was.
