Good motel at a very affordable price. The location was convenient, with Newcastle only a short drive away. Reception stayed open late, which made check‑in easy. The restaurant/club offered a good menu at reasonable prices, and there was plenty of parking. Overall, a comfortable and budget‑friendly stay.

Just a one night stop over but will stay here again for sure. It is at the budget end of the market price wise, but the room was large and clean, old but good bathroom, no problems at all. I travel to Newcastle 4 or so times a year and which I came across this place sooner! Had a beer and dinner at the pub which was great value.
