Great little place to stay. Have your own parking spot allocated to you. However, it looked like it was booked out with the car park being full and it was still very quiet. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Best sleep I have had in a long time. Thank you

Cleanliness of room, which had modern amenities, excellent lighting, comfortable bed and bedding, quiet location. Ladies would appreciate a full-length mirror, otherwise we were quite pleased with the unit.
