A wonderful choice
Our room was very big and so clean. It had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and the food was amazing, the staff were very helpful in accommodating our dietary requirements (gluten free due to allergies). We will stay again with no hesitation.

Lovely place if not a little further out if the Main Street than we thought, but otherwise it was very clean and of a higher standard than most motels. Car parking can be a challenge too

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Bedrooms were clean. Bathroom and the kitchen area could have done with being concentrated on more. We had a separate room for our kids who ended up sleeping in our bed as the spa bath is the room next to us was very loud and they couldn’t sleep.
