  • The hosts were so helpful

    This is an amazing accommodation. The hosts were so helpful, it was the tidiest and cleanest motel. Was worth paying a little extra for the location, and the great place. I would certainly recommend it and would definitely stay there again.

  • The Location is just perfect

    We have been staying here once a month for the last year and I have just booked our accommodation for the whole of 2020 as well. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. The hotel rooms are absolutely spotless and are a credit to the staff and the owners. The Location is just perfect for wandering around and finding different places to eat at!! Highly recommended !!!
