We were in the area for a wedding. The staff were friendly, interested and very helpful. We were impressed by the space and layout of the unit. It was well appointed and had very thing we required. We would definitely recommend to others and would happily call again. Thank you.

This is a very clean, comfortable property, close to town and in a safe area. The room itself was very clean and well provisioned for our purposes; we were an overnight stay and wanted to have a snack and heat up breakfast. The price is fair too. Overall, I would recommend staying here if you are in the area.

Overall a very good stay. We had a 2 bedroom uni and requested an early checkin as we were attending a wedding and needed to get changed etc. On arrival everything went well and early checkin was granted. Rooms were clean and tidy. TV in min lounge a little small and the one in the main bedroom was very small. Beds were comfortable but a little hard, mattress topper might be a good idea. Overall I'd stay there again as hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Arrived with a confirmed booking to be told they were full. No apologies and no help. The owners did not even come out to talk with us. A night in the car at 60 is not fun
