    In almost every respect, outstanding

    Ours was the unit furthest from reception and the internet connection was patchy, but when it lapsed it could always be restored by taking the computer a few steps closer to the office. So the problem seems to be one for Unit 9 alone. At many times, especially at night, it was simplest to use our iphones as a hotspot.

    Excellent location and spotlessly clean. But for the internet connection, superb in every respect.

    Everything was great. Thanks

    Great location, only a short walk to the center of the town where all the amenities, cafe, restaurants etc are. The room was well laid out with a desk to work from and a small kitchen area if you wanted to prepare some food. Nice TV and a comfortable bed. What's not to like!

    Only the sound of the pipes when the toilet was flushed, and the (lack of) shower pressure.

    Most of the staff were amazing and made us feel very welcome and comfortable, good tips on the neighborhood. Location is great, rooms very comfortable. We'd definitely stay again!

    Bathroom didn't have a heated towel rail so towels didn't dry when hung up in the bathroom. Therefore fresh towels needed to be requested daily. The cost of installing a heated towel rail would be quickly recovered from the reduced laundering cost as daily towel changes would no longer be needed. It was surprising to have soap and shampoo provided in individual packaging as most accommodation providers use wall-mounted liquid dispensers to reduce packaging. Kitchen tongs need to be replaced as no longer working properly. A coffee plunger was provided but only instant coffee sachets were supplied so we had to buy coffee for the plunger.

    Great location within walking distance from the main street, supermarket, fast food outlets and petrol station. A 5-10 minute walk to restaurants. The unit was clean, spacious and sunny and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Nothing. It was superb

    Cosy heating. Extremely comfortable bed. Fantastic staff. Motel wasn't full for the 3 nights we were there and owners placed guests so no one had next door neighbours - very considerate. Double glazed. Off main street and easy walk to city centre. An older property but beautifully maintained and renovated. Just superb. We will definitely be staying there again

    Nothing not to like! Perfect

    Excellent stay. Comfy bed, hard to get up in the morning to brace the cold outside! Electric blankets made it even more snuggly. The space was clean and quiet with a lovely outlook to trees. Despite full occupancy around us, we heard no other guests. Staff very friendly and approachable. Highly recommend this motel.

    I did not realize there was no air-conditioning. The weather was perfect with the windows open but I am not sure how comfortable it would be in summer heat.

    This is literally the cleanest motel I have ever stayed in - and I travel the world. It was clean, comfortable and perfectly maintained. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spotless, the linens were excellent and the amenities were perfect for an overnight stay. Parking is right outside your door. Quiet and peaceful night’s sleep.
