Fun Activities for Kids

The resort is perfect for families, offering amazing activities for children. My kids had a blast with canoeing, crafts, and games that reminded me of my own childhood summer camps. The staff was fantastic in ensuring that every activity was engaging and fun, laying the groundwork for lifelong friendships among the kids.

Comfortable Accommodation

I stayed in a recently renovated cabin that was both cozy and comfortable. It had plenty of pillows, a bar fridge, and a stunning view of Sparrow Lake. The rustic charm of the cabin made it feel like a true getaway, and all the amenities ensured a pleasant stay.

We had a delightful family getaway at Bayview Wildwood Resort, where the kids were able to enjoy an all-inclusive experience without extra charges for them. The resort grounds were charming, and even in winter, we found plenty of activities to keep us entertained. However, while the accommodations were spacious and cozy, a few aspects like the pool changeroom facilities and some room features could use improvement.

We really enjoyed our stay at the resort, especially the numerous activities available for families and the fantastic lake view from our room. While the location is beautiful, we found the dining options somewhat lacking due to events prioritizing certain guests. Additionally, the noise from passing trains was noticeable, which detracted a bit from the overall experience.

Rooms

Our room had a great view of the lake and was mostly clean, though it felt a bit dated with some old furniture.

Service

The staff was generally friendly, but our dining experience felt rushed, perhaps due to a wedding happening that night.

Location

The location is scenic and perfect for enjoying outdoor activities, but the proximity to the railway line can be disruptive with frequent train noise.

Dining

The food was good, but our experience was overshadowed by the wedding, leading to limited menu options and a hurried dining atmosphere.

Facilities

The resort offers several activities, although many were not available during our off-season visit, and the overall facilities felt in need of a refresh.

I had a lovely time at the hotel, perfect for families with the kids club and various activities. The amenities like the outdoor pool, beach area, and water park were enjoyable, but the food options could really use improvement. The decor in our suite was outdated, which affected the overall comfort, even though it was generally clean and spacious. While the gym was small, it was still nice to have the option to work out. Overall, it was a fun getaway, and I’d definitely consider returning.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The views were stunning, and the room was updated and comfortable, but the noise from the nearby railway was quite bothersome. Additionally, the dining options were limited during our stay, which was disappointing. Overall, it has potential but needs improvement in a few areas.

Rooms

The room we stayed in had a beautiful view of the lake and was updated with new furnishings. The bed was especially comfortable, although some furniture still showed wear and tear.

Service

7.0

The staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially when I needed to charge my electric car. However, they seemed stretched thin during our midweek visit.

Location

6.0

The hotel is located right next to a railway line, which means you’ll hear freight trains passing by frequently. However, the setting by the lake was beautiful and offered lovely hiking trails.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast option I had was fine, but my partner was disappointed with hers. Given the low occupancy, the dining experience felt limited, which is understandable for off-season.

Facilities

6.0

While there were good amenities available during the peak season, many were closed during our fall visit. The hiking trails were still enjoyable, but a wider variety of activities would be nice.
