Loved the room layout. Having a seperate bedroom would be great for families - for us it was our walkin wardrobe😋 the main room with kitchenette was spacious and the cherry on the top was the yummy large spa bath.

Immense gratitude to the staff / owners of this lovely motor lodge. Their kindness and compassion at an extremely stressful and heartbreaking time whilst having to visit my father in the hospital was very much appreciated. The room / facilities fulfilled all my needs and expectations. There is also a beautiful rose garden directly over the road from them, with seats to relax on and lawns to stretch out on whilst enjoying the fresh air in peaceful surroundings [despite not being far from the main road] I would not hesitate to stay there again, or recommend this to anyone needing to visit family / friends in the hospital. Thank you to all who made my stay so much easier, keep up the good work as I do appreciate how hard times are now for you all.

The complex was nice considering what we paid! Though they need to address some of the safety issues around the power points in the rooms. We moved rooms once because of the issue , to find the next room was worse. Message to the management, please address this before there is a fire!!!!
