Shevchuk (10/5): - The little added touches. Coffee machine, biscuits on arrival, upmarket crockery, flowers to add a pop of colour, all toiletries you could wish for, complementary pen and key ring, good bed and lovely thick cotton sheets, great staff. And to top it off, there was a sink in the room, which meant there was no need to fill kettle in vanity that in most cases, the kettle won't fit under the tap. Much more hygienic. Also, the room was bright and airy Nothing, it was all so lovely. It would be great if all motels could meet the standard set by this family run motel.

Jennifer (7/5): Central to the action and a short stroll to shops and other attractions. - The family rooms were large and the water pressure win the shower was fantastic. The furnishings were dated and worn. It was a little difficult to use the streaming on the TV as the internet was slow.
