Good location on the high street / highway, but quiet overnight and during the day, despite this. Close to supermarkets, shops, restaurants and cafes. Somewhat dated bathroom, but it and the furniture were still in very good condition. Bathroom and room were clean. Friendly reception staff. Complimentary fresh milk available for tea and coffee. Air Conditioning / Heating worked well in winter. Would stay again.

I'd booked again but I would use ear plugs to sleep. Unfortunately the traffic (trucks) made sleeping difficult. Otherwise we were very comfortable and happy in general.

Excellent facility I can tell it's cleaned and maintained daily. The bed was really good. Good sized bathroom & toilet. Table & Chairs also outside. I was very happy with my stay. I got to meet both the managers and both lovely people. Well worth staying. No road noise. The only noise was from the pub music across the road but only the music not the patrons.

The place was pretty easy to find. With it being located on a main Rd, there was little to no traffic noise. The rooms do have a designated parking spot in front of each room but after returning from dinner, I had found someone was in my spot. I had to park 2 doors down. The shower had good water pressure & was a reasonable size. The bed was very comfy. It did lack an electric blanket but having the AC on low heat all night made it pleasant to sleep. Well worth the price. Will definitely stay here again
