We arrived early & our room was not ready but the very helpful manager quickly allocated us an alternative room so we could unload our luggage before going to a funeral, which was much appreciated. Although designated as a studio room it was really spacious, very clean & comfortable.

Lovely premises and well maintained. Pool looked dirty but just coming out of winter and not being used is understandable and one assumes it will be tidied up soon. Staff at reception friendly and welcoming. Cleaning staff efficient and polite. Stayed 4 days and will book again.

We enjoyed our stay. the room was spacious and the bed super comfortable. Needed a pair of scissors & voila, there was a pair in a drawer = excellent. we'd arrived an hour early as previously arranged, no staff onsite; phoned the manager & he returned, from the gym, in 5 minutes - we really appreciated that. always wanted to stay at this motel as it looks great from the road, glad we did!
