The property is old and mutton dressed up as lamb . Very poor WiFi could not even use it only 1 bar and speed rating would not even connect. Didn’t supply any fresh milk and was told if we wanted milk for our morning coffee needed to walk down to the local shops and buy our own . The shower was very slippery and no slip mat was provided very dangerous as my wife is partially disabled and had problems stepping into it . The only positive we have for the place was the warm blanket on the bed otherwise it has been the worst place we have stayed so far

Impeccably clean, if somewhat quaint small motel in the north. Minimal sound or thermal insulation, a good heater is bolted to the wall in the kitchen/lounge area but not the bedroom. In mid July that could be a problem. Traffic noise from 5am so you won’t need an alarm clock. Good well appointed kitchenette and bathroom. A small column heater to take the chill from the bedroom would be ideal. Otherwise good for its price class and location.

Clean, friendly and accommodating.
I stay at this location every year for a night or 2 when visiting family who live a short walk away. The owners are always friendly and have often gone above and beyond. They provide a satisfactory and convenient location, supplying the basics needed and recommend for families, especially if needing privacy.

A very convenient and comfortable motel
We only stayed one night but we really enjoyed our it. The room was very comfortable and it was very convenient with the main bedroom and the lounge also having a bed. The kitchen and bathroom were also of a good standard. Although the motel was close to the main road little noise could be heard. There was a pool which we didn’t have time to use but we did use the children’s swings and the large garden. The motel is also very close to a supermarket. Overall we were impressed with this motel and would definitely stay here again

Basic but clean facilities. Comfy bed. The couch which had been repaired with insulation tape should be in landfill. Curtain railing and fittings were flimsy. No soap on hand basin. Fridge was not going. Continuous running water into drain outside bedroom window all night.
