We received a very warm and friendly welcome. Our apartment was spacious, clean and well appointed. We really appreciated the reclining sofa after a long day on our feet. Beds were very comfortable and we had a great sleep in a surprisingly quiet location.

Overall a pretty good property. The staff were fantastic and wonderful to talk to. The unit was clean and tidy. The only negative was there wasn't too much around and you need a car, but I'd still recommend the property for a well priced stop-over.

This motel is quiet, clean and well appointed (love the spa bath) and has the attention to detail that I enjoy in any motel. Things like the biscuit with the hot drinks, large size towels, (and plenty of them), free Sky movies all added that touch of enjoyment to our stay.
