These motels are older, but as a previous motel owner, I found them to be spotless. The towels would be the best we have ever had in a motel, the bed was excellent and value for money, very hard to beat. Thank you for an excellent stay.

Property was excellent value, close to town centre. Managers shifted a person to give us a ground floor room, as wife on a walking stick. Heatpumps would help to cool units in the summer.

This is a property that needs serious modernising. It has not been changed since the 70’s. there were also no pillow protectors, mattress protectors to prevent bedbugs. One pillow & one duvet inner which had no cover was stained yellow.

Enjoyed our stay here. Friendly people. Excellent services and obvious to see dedication of owners. Lots of lovely decorative touches. Neat and tidy grounds.

This property was clean although our motel room was very dated. There was no hot water on our second morning. Not great when five of us needed to have showers before we left. Wifi was poor. The third ‘twin bed’ was actually just a sofa bed. Good location. Not great value for money.

Hi I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with and sorry about the hot water we have just had a electrician around and a fuse had blown in the main fuse box. We are here 24/7 ,so if you had let us known we could have done something about it or just help you out . The wifi we are looking into that we thought we had it sorted but obviously not , but people not let us know we can't do anything about it , we are here to help. I hope the rest of your trip goes well. Regards
