Nice place to stay

A one night stop over. Very nicely set out room with plenty of space and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was spacious and plenty of room to mkve in the shower. Partially undercover parking and plenty of turning room. Only negative, you need to drive into town for food if you font want KFC which is walking distance.

Friendly staff, on-site Restaurant and mostly workers as other guests who were quiet and left early in the morning, so a sleep-in was easy. Plenty of toiletries made available for a single night stay! Spa Bath not working was a let-down, but not advertised as anything other than a private bathroom, so was our fault for getting our hopes up when we saw it. Otherwise it was a nice stay.
