Although we arrived late (almost 10 pm) the host had stayed up to welcome us and he did so very warmly. He gave us nearby breakfast options and we felt very welcome. The motel felt very safe, was quiet and very clean. Thoroughly recommend it.

Nice and tidy. Good size for just the two of us. Shower door hits the toilet when opening, a larger person may struggle to get in and out. Bathroom smelled of sewerage in the morning, we let the fan run 20 mins before showering and brushing teeth

Great sized room and large sized car parks!! Nice and clean place to stay, very impressed. Negatives - A little noisy through the motel room walls sadly and not much hospitality at reception. Cleaners began vacuuming loudly well before departure time. Feel sorry for anyone who wanted a bit of extra sleep.

Liked: Cleanliness
They forgot to service our room one day. While providing microwave,they do do provide any plates or utensils rendering the microwave useless, as only China was 3 mugs with 3 saucers which didn’t match mugs and teaspoons. Could do with a knife, cutting board and serving plate and spoon to use in microwave, plus dinnerware to eat it from. Very disappointed.
