Checking in was so easy due to the friendliness of the staff the complex feels like its way out of town , actually on barely 2 min to town centre , the room was very spacious ,bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was great , all in all I will reccommend this for future stays

I love this place. for a small town property, this place is great. Penny is lovely, great us with a smile. We cane early and the room is ready. We booked the smallest room but we are definitely satisfied. It has everything we needed, clean, high ceiling, good size room and bathroom and it's very well maintained. Definitely will stay here again

Suffice to say that the room was more than adequate for the needs of my wife and I. It was clean and tidy and room 10 was far enough that we didn't hear any noise from the road. Thanks for the opportunity to stay at your establishment.

I loved the location. Green fields on either side. Situated away from the road, it was quiet and relaxing. Ten minute walk to town seems shorter each time you do it.

Beautiful new, fresh fully self contained units. Ours was one of the new ones down the back, so very peaceful and quiet. Our outlook was green pastures. The BEST AND MOST COMFORTABLE BED AND PILLOWS!!! Highly recommend. Steve was very nice, friendly and helpful.

Bath room small and pokey. Hand basin hard to access because access not wide enough. Shower stall one of if not the smallest Ive ever had to use in a motel. No tap in kitchenette had to get water from bathroom tap for tea or coffee.Sorry but I wont be staying there again.

Thank you for your review and we are sorry that you stay wasn't up to your standards. Unfortunately the room type that you picked (small studio) doesn't have a kitchen compared to all of our other units that have full kitchen facilities. More liken to a hotel unit that also do not have kitchens.
