It’s rare to find a simple, inexpensive motel unit big enough to easily fit a family of 5 or 6, but the family units there are perfect. It’s not fancy, but extremely functional and very well priced. Will definitely stay there again if passing thru.

Property is very dated. Although clean. And staff were friendly. Convenient easy walk to the town centre. It is a busy roundabout so some vehicle noise. Overall good experience for the price.

Reasonable price for an older motel with some modern features such as new flooring. Good appliances in kitchen area. Good heating from the main area heatpump. Bathroom cold and no heating but great hotwater and shower pressure. Some of the electrics, eg power point for tv, looked a bit unsafe. King bed mattress firm and comfortable.

Everything was excellent and wonderful; only downside was the windows and hearing almost everything through the walls. Was situated well. Free and unlimited wifi was a wonderful change. Our hostess was awesome.

This was a lovely place to stay. The rooms were neat and clean, and the beds were comfortable. The only thing that disappointed me was that there was a stove/oven in the photo that I saw and I brought provisions for our meal accordingly. When we arrived, the room we were given had only a microwave and I had to go and pay for different food. This may have been my lack of attention to detail when I booked, but it did frustrate me. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Everything was good apart from the bed was too cold. Needed a better duvet or another blanket. Had to buy one to keep warm the 2nd night. Heat pump wasn't working properly either. Probably needs filters cleaned

Perfectly good stay

Really lovely and helpful service. They were quick to find a better single bed when we asked as the original was soooooo soft it bent in half. Nowhere to hang towels but they quickly ensured we had clean ones each day to compromise. Good amenities but tired (remote control batteries held in with tape, cupboard door’s that don’t shut). Very handy location. Overall, it was about right for the price we paid.
