Great, easy place to stay. Accommodation was very clean and warm. (Stayed in June)
The manager was very accommodating as we had to extend our stay.
Great food van at the entrance of the motel with egg and bacon rolls and coffee, pub next door for dinner
Small kitchen ✔️
Extremely clean ✔️
Great location ✔️(Grovesdale hotel right next door - really fantastic pub)
Heating, cooling, electric blankets ✔️
*The only issues were one electric was loose & the plug kept falling out of the power point & the curtains didn’t quite close properly
But l would still highly recommend the Golden Palm :)
