We had a pleasant stay. The room and property were nice. The only downside was feeling a little unsafe while visiting the local shopping centre. I witnessed a person being harassed by some unruly teenagers.

Everyone was so very friendly. I had a long drive and booked quite late on a Sunday. I arrived and was shown to a lovely, quiet, refreshing haven. Walked down the street for some dinner, then returned to the room for a peaceful night’s sleep. Thank-you.
